¶ A briefe conclusion, where you may see,
Ech word in the verse, to begin with a T.
Chap. 48.
Triue for contriue.
The [thriftie] that teacheth the thriuing to thriue,
Teach timelie to [trauerse] the thing that thou [triue].
Transferring thy toiling, to timelines tought.
This teacheth thee temprance, to temper thy thought.
Take trustie (to trust to) that thinkest to thee,
That trustily thriftines [trowleth] to thee.
Then temper thy trauell to tarie the tide,
This teacheth thee thriftines twentie times tride.
Take thankfull thy [talent], thanke thankfully those
That thriftilie teacheth thy time to [transpose].
Troth [twise] to thee teached, teach twentie times ten.
This trade thou that takest, take thrift to thee then.[E377]
