  1. 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.** 
  2. 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.** 
  3. 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.**
