As in this booke, who list to looke, ae er 
Of husbandrie, and huswiferie, Suforue 
There may he finde more of my minde, deuised. 
concerning this: 
To carke! and care, and euer bare, 
With losse and paine, to little gaine, 
All this to haue, to cram sir knaue, 
what life it is. 
When wife could not, through sicknes got, 
More toile abide, so nigh Sea side, 
Then thought I best, from toile to rest, : 
Ipswich’ 
and Ipswich trie: , commended. 
A towne of price, like paradice, 
For quiet then, and honest men, 
There was I glad, much friendship had, 
a time to lie. 
There left good wife this present life, his bese ° 
And there left I, house charges lie, ss 
For glad was he, mought send for me, 
good lucke so stood: 
In Suffolke there, were euerie where, 
Euen of the best, besides the rest, 
That neuer did their friendship hid, 
to doo me good. 
O Suffolke thow, content thee now, Bete in 
Norfolk. 
That hadst the praies in those same daies, 
For Squiers and Knights, that well delights 
good house to keepe: 
For Norfolke wiles, so full of giles, 
Haue caught my toe, by wiuing so, 
That out to thee, I see for mee, 
no waie to creepe.
