Nouember take flaile,
Let ship no more saile.

Doe now at the last.
Slaughter time.

and then doth the husbandmans feasting begin
From thence vnto shroftide kill now and then some,
their offal for houshold the better wil come.[E120]

Thy dredge and thy barley go thresh out to malt,
let malster be cunning, else lose it thou shalt:

bad else is the barley, or huswife much more.
