How plowmen sholde do.

Peers go thou to plowe/ and take with the thy wyfe
Delue and drawe/ sowe barly whete/ and ry
Of one make ten/ this is a perfyte lyfe
As sayth Arystotle in his phylozophy
Thou nede not study to knowe astrology
For yf the weder be not to thy pleasaunce
Thanke euer god of his dyuyne ordenaunce.
