Tell me now in truth: How rich art thou? What hast thou that is thine owne? A cloth for my table, a horse in my stable, Both bridle and saddle, and a child in the cradle (But no bag of gold, house or free-hold. My Coine is but small, finde it who shall: For, I know this my selfe, it is all but pelfe): Both cow and calf: you know not yet half. She doth yeeld me milke, her skin, soft as silke. I got, without help, a cat and a whelp; A cap and a belt, with a hog that was gelt; With a pot of good drink, full to the brink. And I had a Lark, and a Fawn from the Park,

Thus much in haste, may serue for a taste. And so I must end, no vaine word to spend.

Notes

• * 1.1

  You may sometime spell this way, if the word will bee more easie, which is espe∣cially when the word en∣d••th in (ch, gh or sh) for then they cannot well be diui∣ded.
• * 1.2

  After (u) we vse to giue lit∣tle or no sound to (b.)
• * 1.3

  The reason of this difference I shewed be∣fore.
