To breakefast that come,
Giue erie one some.
Breakefast.
1
Call seruants to breakefast by day starre appere,[E435]
a snatch and to worke, fellowes tarrie not here.
2
Let huswife be caruer, let[1] [pottage] be [heate],
a messe to eche one, with a morsell of meate.
No more tittle tattle,
Go serue your cattle.
3
What [tacke] in a pudding, saith greedie gut wringer,
giue such ye wote what, ere a pudding he finger.
4
Let seruants once serued, thy cattle go serue,
least often ill seruing make cattle to sterue.
