Seek home for rest, for home is best.

The line commends the domestic sphere as the proper place of recuperation: after labor, travel, or public striving, one should return to the household for restoration. In Tusser’s moralizing, practical verse, “home” functions both literally (the farmstead where work and family life are ordered) and as a cultural ideal—stability, thrift, and well-governed routine. The rhyme’s simplicity gives it the feel of a proverb, reinforcing the notion that contentment and well-being are more reliably found in familiar, private spaces than in restless seeking elsewhere. It also reflects a broader early modern emphasis on household management as the foundation of social and personal order.
