158 Of wining and thriuing. 
Obtection. 
[26] Friend, let vs both giue iustly place, 
To wedded man to iudge this cace, 
Which best way is to thriue: 
For both our talke as seemeth plaine, 
Is but as hapneth in our braine, 
To will or not to wiue. 
Q Wedded mans tudgement 
Vpon the former argument. 
Moderator. [27] As Cock that wants his mate, goes rouing all about, 
With crowing early and late, to find his louer out: 
And as poore sillie hen, long wanting cock to guide, 
Soone droopes and shortly then beginnes to peake aside: 
Euen so it is with man and wife, where gouernment is 
found, 
The want of ton the others life doth shortly soone con- 
found. 
[28] In iest and in earnest, here argued ye finde, 
That husband and huswife togither must dwell, 
And thereto the iudgement of wedded mans minde, 
That husbandrie otherwise speedeth not well : 
So somewhat more nowe I intende for to tell, 
Of huswiferie like as of husbandrie tolde, 
How huswifelie huswife helpes bring in the golde. 
Thus endeth the booke of 
Husbandrie.
