“In harvest time, harvest folk, servants and all Should make, all together, good cheer in the hall Once ended the harvest, let none be beguiled Please such as did help thee, man, woman and child.” MenShouldChildrenHelpingTogetherPleaseFolksTheeServantHallsCheerHarvestMen WomenOctoberGood CheerHarvest Time Author:Thomas Tusser
“Provide of thine own, to have all things at hand; Less work and the workman, unoccupied, stand. Make dry over-head both hovel and shack. Wash sheep (for the better) where water doth run; Let him go cleanly, and dry in the sun. Thy houses and and barns would be looked upon; And all things a[...]ed, ere harvest come on. At midsummer, down with the brambles and brakes; And after, abroad, with thy forks and thy rakes; Set movers a mowing, where meadow is grown; The longer now standing, the worse to be mown.” HandsWould BeRunningHouseWaterSunStandingAll ThingsDrySheepHarvestJuneForksMeadowsBarnsBrakeWorkmenShackMidsummerRakesLet Him GoMowing Author:Thomas Tusser
