fine knacks for ladies

cheap

choice

brave and new

good pennyworths but money cannot move

i keep a fair but for the fair to view

a beggar may be liberal of love. though all my wares be trash

the heart is true. great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again

my trifles come as treasures from my mind

it is a precious jewel to be plain

sometimes in shell the orient's pearls we find. of others take a sheaf

of me a grain. within this pack pins

points

laces and gloves

and divers toys fitting a country fair

but in my heart

where duty serves and loves

turtles and twins

court's brood

a heav'nly pair. happy the man that thinks of no removes.
