So, of our babes, care will I take

See needefull thinges, be never sckarce
Provide your men, unyd'lye live
Use Curtes Speache, shew frendlie face
See needefull thinges, be never sckarce

And how your frends, you wold I use
So, Looke my frends, you entertaine
To know my tymes, you must take payne

For good, of moe, I wold you knowne
And Longe Frome home, stayd in no wise

For good, of moe, I wold you knowne
And Longe Frome home, stayd in no wise

Suspicius cause, t'eschewe weare best
What ever care, the day doth breede
Agree, the night, yelde pleasant rest

What so a wooer, you me behight
Nowe Husband good, performe as due
Penelopes pathe, if I hold right
Ulixes Steppes, see you tread trew
Nowe Husband good, performe as due
Penelopes pathe, if I hold right
Ulixes Steppes, see you tread trew
