Till cock crow agen,
Both maidens and men:
Amend now with speede,
That mending doth neede.[2]

[6]
The first cock croweth.
Past fiue a clock, Holla: maid, sleeping beware,
The next cock croweth.
Least quickly your Mistres vncouer your [bare].

Maides, vp I beseech yee,
Least Mistres doe breech yee:
To worke and away,
As fast as ye may.

[1] showeth, here and in stanzas 5 and 6. 1577.

[2]

Both mayden and man
mend now what ye can.
Leave gibber gabber
mend slibber slabber. 1577.
