Of his abidyng in the countrey.
WHen I in countrie foyle sweet, sappy, rest:
how I doe spend & passe the tyme away,
If thou do long in few to haue exprest,
attentiue be, and marke what I shall say.
First serud on knees, the Maiestie deuine:
my seruaunts next & ground I ouerlook:
To euery man his taske I doe assigne,
when this is done, I get me to my booke.
For cōfortes cause, I rub my corps wt Oyle:
for exercise I wrestle now and than,
With strainyng armes a crash: & tyrd with toile
I merry make, (endebted to no man)
I pouder, quasse, sing, play, bath, sup, & sleep,
somtyme by night, to studie close I creep.
