Home work: Copy this poem in Cursive, 12mm lined paper
ROSES, their sharp spines being gone, Not royal in their smells alone,
but in their hue;
Maiden pinks, of odour faint, Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint,
And sweet thyme true;
primrose, firstborn child of Ver; Merry springtime's harbinger,
With her bells dim;
Oxlips in their cradles growing, Marigolds on death-beds blowing,
larks'-heels trim;
All dear Nature's children sweet
lie 'fore bride and bridegroom's feet,
blessing their sense!
Not an angel of the air, bird melodious or bird fair,
be absent hence!
the crow, the slanderous cuckoo, nor the boding raven, nor chough hoar,
Nor chattering pye,
May on our bride-house perch or sing, Or with them any discord bring,
but from it fly!

To write verie faire your Penne lett be newe,
Dish dash long tale flye false writing escewe:
Neately, and clenlie your hand for to frame,
Stronge stawked penne use best of a rauen.
And commelye to write, and gyue a good grace,
Leaue betwene eche woorde smale a letters space,
That faire and seemelye your hand maye be redd.
Keepe euen your letters at foote, and at heade:
Wyth distaunce a lyke betweene letter and letter:
One out of others showes muche the better.
Scholer to learne it maye doo you pleasure,
To rule hym two lynes iust of a measure:
Those two lynes betweene to write verie iust,
Not aboue or belowe write that he must:
The same to be don is best with blacke leade,
Whiche written betwene is clensed with breade.
Your penne from your booke but seldom remoue.
To folowe strang hand with drie penne first proue.
Manie onewriteth the example lyeth bye,
Who so one the same dooth neuer set eye:
But he that will learne with speede for to write,
To marke his example must haue delight,
Letter and tittle to make as the same,
So shall the scholler be voide of al blame.
