To light a candell, ete. 
The scholer forth of schoole 
may boldlier take his mind, 
The fields haue eyes, the bushes eares, 
false birds can fetch the wind. 
The further from the gone 
the safer may ye skippe, 
The nerer to the carters hand 
the nerer to the whippe. 
The neerer to the whippe 
the sooner comes the jerke, 
The sooner that poore beast is strucke 
the sooner doth he yerke. 
Some loueth for to whippe, 
to see how ierkes will smart, 
In wofull taking is that horse 
that nedes must drawe in cart. 
Such fellow is the Deuell, 
that doth euen what he list, 
Yet thinketh he what ere he doth 
none ought dare say, but whist. 
Take therefore heed, my sonne, 
and marke full well this song, 
Learne thus with craft to claw the deuell, 
else lue in rest not long.

Doo thistles good, so thick in fallow spide ? 
Doo taint wormes good, that lurke where ox should eat ? 
Or sucking drones, in hiue where bees abide ?
