God sendeth and giveth both mouth and the meat.

A Hundred Points of Good Husbandry (1557)

'Tis merry in hall
Where beards wag all.

A Hundred Points of Good Husbandry (1557)

Yet true it is, as cow chews cud
And trees at spring do yield forth bud,
Except wind stands as never it stood,
It is an ill wind turns none to good.

At Christmas be merry and thankful withal,
And feast your poor neighbors, the great and the small.

Though home be but homely, yet huswife is taught
That home hath no fellow to such as have aught.
