To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
now marke what did befall, The young man threw the greatest cast, and brauely wonne they all. There was an Ewe, &c. There were three good old women that would not be contrould, And each of them must take her cup, to keepe them from the cold. The one of them a Taylors wife, the other was a Weauer, The third a merry Coblers wife, that praid for dirty weather ; To sit and chat of this and that, it was then their hearts desire ; So long they staid till two were drunk, the third fell in the fire. Th...ere was an Ewe, &c. The Piper pip't his wife a daunce, and there sprung vp a Rose ; The Cobler drunke strong Ale so long till he had wrong'd his Hose ; His wife came with a Broomstaffe, and strooke him on the head, That euery one did surely thinke the Cobler had beene dead : But being to his senses come, Choice of Inventions. 145 " sweet wife, " said he, " be quiet, This twelue months day lie take small Beere or water for my diet, " There was an Ewe, &c. A man that hath a sluttish wife is in a beastly taking : And he that hath a cleanly wife is of another making ; He that hath a dogged wife my fancy cannot brooke, But he that hath a vertuous wife hath farre more better lucke : He that hath a drunken wife, that spends all at the Alehouse, Were better take a Cord in hand, and hang himselfe at the Gallowes.
