Go sirs and away,
to [ted] and make hay.
If stormes drawes nie,
then cock apace crie.

Let hay still bide,
till well it be dride.
(Hay made) away carrie,
no longer then tarrie.
3
Who best way titheth,
he best way thriueth.

Two good hay makers
woorth twentie [crakers].
5
Let [dallops][1] about

Sée hay doo looke gréene,
sée féeld ye rake cléene.
6
Thry fallow I pray thée,
least thistles bewray thée.
