which after with sorrow repents him too late.

For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the nex.
Who goeth a borrowing/ Goeth a sorrowing./ Few lend (but fools)/ Their working tools.
Some respite to husbands the weather may send,/ But housewives' affairs have never an end.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.
February, fill the dyke with what thou dost like.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.
In doing of either, let wit bear a stroke,/ For buying or selling of pig in a poke.
