Workes after supper.
1
Remember those children whose parents be poore,
which hunger, yet dare not craue[1] at thy doore.
2
Thy Bandog[E450] that serueth for diuerse mishaps,
forget not to giue him thy bones and thy scraps.
Make [keies] to be keepers,
To bed ye sleepers.
3
Where mouthes be many, to spend that thou hast,
set keies to be keepers, for spending too fast.
4
To bed after supper let [drousie] go sleepe,
least knaue in the darke to his marrow do creepe.
Keepe keies as thy life,
Feare candle good wife.
5
Such keies lay vp safe, ere ye take ye to rest,
of dairie, of [buttrie], of [cubboord] and chest.
6
Feare candle in [hailoft], in barne, and in shed,
feare flea smocke and [mendbreech], for burning their bed.
See doore lockt fast,
Two keies make wast.
