Tone giueth his corne in a [darth],
to horse, sheepe, and hog euery daie;
The tother giue cattle warme barth,
and feede them with strawe and with [haie].
Corne spent of the tone so in vaine:
the tother doth sell to his gaine.
Champion.

Tone barefoote and ragged doth go,
and readie in winter to sterue:
When tother ye see doo not so,
but hath that is needfull to serue.
Tone paine in a cotage doth take,
when tother trim bowers doo make.
Champion.
Seuerall.

Tone laieth for turfe and for sedge,
and hath it with woonderfull suit:
When tother in euerie hedge,
hath plentie of fewell and fruit.
Euils twentie times worser than thease,
enclosure quickly would ease.
Seuerall.

In woodland the poore men that haue
scarse fully two akers of land,
More merily liue and doo saue,
than tother with twentie in hand.
Yet paie they as much for the twoo
as tother for twentie must doo.
