| Breakefast doings. 
To breakefast that come, 
Giue erie one some. 
ALL seruants to breakefast by day starre appere, 
a snatch and to worke, fellowes tarrie not here. 
Let huswife be caruer, let’ pottage be heate, 
a messe to eche one, with a morsell of meate. 
No more tittle tattle, 
Go serue your cattle. 
What tacke in a pudding, saith greedie gut wringer, 
giue such ye wote what, ere a pudding he finger. 
Let seruants once serued, thy cattle go serue, 
least often ill seruing make cattle to sterue.

"| Huswifely admonitions. 
Learne you that will thee, 
This lesson of mee.? 
O breakefast of custome prouide for to saue, 
but onely for such as deserueth to haue. 
No shewing of seruant what vittles in store, 
shew seruant his labour, and shew him no more. 
Of hauocke beware, 
Cat nothing will spare. 
Where all thing is common, what needeth a hutch ? 
where wanteth a sauer, there hauocke is mutch. 
Where window is open, cat maketh a fray, 
yet wilde cat with two legs is worse by my fay.
