fTuswiferie. 17, 
Wife make thine owne candle, 
Spare pennie to handle. 
Prouide for thy tallow, ere frost commeth in, conde 
making. 
and make thine owne candle, ere winter begin. 
If pennie for all thing be suffred to trudge, 
trust long, not to pennie, to haue him thy drudge.

‘| Luening workes. 
Time drawing to night, 
See all things go right. 
HEN hennes go to roost go in hand to dresse meate, Euening 
serue hogs and to milking and some to serue neate. 
Where twaine be ynow, be not serued with three, 
more knaues in a companie worser they bee. 
Make lackey to trudge, 
Make seruant thy drudge. 
For euerie trifle leaue ianting thy nag, 
but rather make lackey of Jack boie thy wag. 
Make seruant at night lug in wood or a log, 
let none come in emptie but slut and thy dog. 
False knaue readie prest, 
All safe is the best. 
Where pullen vse nightly to pearch in the yard, 
there two legged foxes keepe watches and ward. 
See cattle well serued, without and within, 
and all thing at quiet ere supper begin. 
Take heede it is needeful, 
True pittie is meedeful. 
No clothes in garden, no trinkets without, 
no doore leaue vnbolted, for feare of a dout. 
Thou woman whom pitie becommeth the best, 
graunt all that hath laboured time to take rest.
