*{ Huswiferie. 
[Now listen, good huswiues, what doings are here 
set out for a day as it should for a yere. 1577.] 
q Morning workes.* 
No sooner some vp, 
But nose is in cup. 
ET yp in the morning as soone as thou wilt, 
with ouerlong slugging good seruant is spilt. 
Some slouens from sleeping no sooner get vp, 
but hand is in aumbrie, and nose in the cup. 
That early is donne, 
Count huswifely wonne. 
Some worke in the morning may trimly be donne, 
that all the day after can hardly be wonne. 
Good husband without it is needfull there be, 
good huswife within as needfull as he. 
Cast dust into yard, 
And spin and go card. 
Sluts corners auoided shall further thy health, 
much time about trifles shall hinder thy wealth. 
Set some to peele hempe or else rishes to twine, 
to spin and to card, or to seething of brine. 
Grind mault for drinke, 
See meate do not stinke. 
Set some about cattle, some pasture to vewe, 
some mault to be grinding against ye do brewe.

Some corneth, some brineth, some will not be taught, 
where meate is attainted, there cookrie is naught.
