The description of Husbandrie.
Chap. 8.
Of
husband, doth husbandrie challenge that name,
of husbandrie, husband doth likewise the same:
Where huswife and huswiferie, ioineth with thease,
there wealth in abundance, is gotten with ease.

Where huswife and huswiferie, ioineth with thease,
there wealth in abundance, is gotten with ease.
The name of a husband, what is it to saie?
of wife and the houshold, the band and the staie:
Some husbandlie thriueth, that neuer had wife,
yet scarce a good husband, in goodnes of life.
of wife and the houshold, the band and the staie:
Some husbandlie thriueth, that neuer had wife,
yet scarce a good husband, in goodnes of life.
The husband is he, that to labour doth fall,
the labour of him, I doe husbandrie call:
If thrift by that labour, he any way caught,
then is it good husbandrie, else it is naught.
the labour of him, I doe husbandrie call:
If thrift by that labour, he any way caught,
then is it good husbandrie, else it is naught.
So houshold and housholdrie, I doe define,
for folke and the goodes, that in house be of thine:
House keeping to them, as a refuge is set,
which like as it is, so report it doth get.

Be house or the furniture, neuer so rude,
of husband and husbandrie, (thus I conclude:)
That huswife and huswiferie, if it be good,
must pleasure togither, as cosins in blood.
