¶ Supper matters.
Vse mirth and good woorde,
At bed and at [boorde].
Supper time huswiferie.
1
Provide for thy husband, to make him good cheere,
make merrie togither, while time ye be heere.
2
At bed and at boord, howsoeuer befall,
what euer God sendeth be merrie withall.
No brawling make,
No ielousie take.
3
No taunts before seruants, for [hindring] of fame,
no [iarring] too loude for auoyding of shame.
4
As [fransie] and heresie roueth togither,
so iealousie leadeth a foole ye wot whither.
Tend such as ye haue,
Stop talkatiue knaue.
