Fiue Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie is a long didactic poem by Thomas Tusser on farming and household management in sixteenth-century England. It offers practical seasonal advice in verse, and the edition also includes his earlier A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie (1557). It is worth listening for its vivid picture of Elizabethan rural life, customs, and dialect.
