And he ends his herb lists with one of his rhymes which I include since I have now posted all his lists:

                        This ends in breefe,
                        Of herbes the cheefe,
                        To get more skill,
                        Read whom ye will,
                        Such mo to have,
                        Of field go crave,
                                   Thomas Tusser, 1580
