Seucrall 7 More plentie of mutton and biefe, 
corne, butter, and cheese of the best, 
More wealth any where (to be briefe), 
more people, more handsome and prest, 
Where find ye ? (go search any coast) 
than there where enclosure is most. 
8 More worke for the labouring man, 
as well in the towne as the feeld: 
Or thereof (deuise if ye can) 
more profit what countries doo yeeld ? 
More seldome where see ye the poore, 
go begging from doore vnto doore ? 
Pnampion g In Norfolke behold the dispaire 
of tillage too much to be borne: 
By drouers from faire to faire, 
and others destroieng the corne. 
By custome and couetous pates, 
by gaps, and by opening of gates.? 
10 What speake I of commoners by, 
with drawing all after a line: 
So noieng the corne, as it ly, 
with cattle, with conies,? and swine. 
When thou? hast bestowed thy cost, 
looke halfe of the same to be lost. 
11 The flocks of the Lords of the soile 
do yeerly the winter corne wrong: 
The same in a manner they spoile, 
with feeding so lowe and so long. 
And therefore that champion feeld 
doth seldome good winter corne yeeld.
