Ed,
Reading Tusser is a drudgerie unless you're fluent in Old English!
The quote above is, in the original:
Quote:
A foole and his monie be soone at debate,
which after with sorrow repents him too late.

I probably read right over that, or maybe even didn't quite get there before drowsiness and/or frustration set in
Anyway, thanks for the mental exercise!
