A hundreth good poyntes of husbandry. 233 
Sainct James willeth husbandes, get reapers at hande: 
the corne, being ripe doe but shead as it stande. 
Be sauing and thankfull, for that god hath sent: 
he sendeth it thee, for the selfe same entent. 
Reape well, scatter not, gather cleane that is shorne : 
binde fast, shock a pase, pay the tenth of thy corne. 
Lode salfe, carry home, lose no time, being faier: 
golfe iust, in the barne, it is out of dispaier. 
This done, set the pore ouer all for to gleane: 
and after thy cattel, to eate it vp cleane. 
Then spare it for pasture, till rowen be past: 
to lengthen thy dayrey, no better thou hast. 
Then welcome thy haruest folke, seruauntes and all : 
with mirth and good chere, let them furnish thine hall. 
The haruest lorde nightly, must geue the a song: 
fill him then the blacke boll, or els he hath wrong. 
100. Thy haruest thus ended, in myrth and in ioye: 
please euery one gently, man woman and boye. 
Thus doing, with alway, such helpe as they can: 
thou winnest the name, of a right husband man. 
Finis. 
Nowe thinke vpon god, let thy tonge neuer cease : 
from thanking of him, for his myghty encrease. 
Accept my good wil, finde no fault tyll thou trye: 
the better thou thryuest, the gladder am I. 
QA sonet or brief rehersall of the properties 
of the twelue monethesafore rehersed. 
As Janeuer fryse pot, bidth corne kepe hym lowe: 
And feuerell fill dyke, doth good with his snowe: 
A bushel of Marche dust, worth raunsomes of gold 
And Aprill his stormes, be to good to be solde: 
As May with his flowers, geue ladies their lust : 
And June after blooming, set carnels so iust : 
As July bid all thing, in order to ripe: 
And August bid reapers, to take full their gripe. 
September his fruit, biddeth gather as fast : 
October bid hogges, to come eate vp his mast : 
As dirtie Nouember, bid threshe at thine ease:
