Slut Cisley vntaught
hath [whitemeat][E283] naught.
21
Some bringeth in gaines,
some losse beside paines.
22
Run Cisse, fault known,[2]
with more than thine own,
Such Mistris, such Nan,
such Maister, such Man.
Thus endeth Aprils abstract, agréeing with Aprils husbandrie.
* * * In 1577 st. 11 is followed by sts. 20, 21, 22; then follows—
Such Mistres such Nan,
such master such man.
By such ill gestes,
poore Cis il restes.
Such fautes as thease
good dame will ease.
These faultes all ten,
abhorreth all men.
A warning for Cysse
for doing amysse.
