All as the painefull ploughman plies his toile, With share and culter shearing through the soile That costs him deare, and ditches it about, Or crops his hedge to make it vndersprout, And neuer staies to ward it from the weede, But most respects to sowe therein good seede:
To th'end when sommer decks the medowes plaine, He may haue recompence of costs and paine. Or like the maide, who carefull is to keepe The budding flowre, that first begins to peepe Out of the knop, and waters it full oft, To make it seemely shew the head aloft, That it may (when she drawes it from the stocks) Adorne her gorget white, and golden locks. So wise Merari all his studie stild, To fashion well the maners of his child. Th. Hudson.
