76. ¶ Breakefast doings

To breakefast that come,
Giue erie one some.

1
Call seruants to breakefast by day starre appere,
a snatch and to worke, fellowes tarrie not here.

2
Let huswife be caruer, let pottage be heate,
a messe to eche one, with a morsell of meate.

No more tittle tattle,
Go serue your cattle.

3
What tacke in a pudding, saith greedie gut wringer,
giue such ye wote what, ere a pudding he finger.

4
Let seruants once serued, thy cattle go serue,
least often ill seruing make cattle to sterue.
