Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new!
Good pennyworths - but money cannot prove
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, 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 pearls we find

Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain
Of me a grain

Within this pack pins, points, laces and gloves
And divers toys fitting a country fair;
But my heart lives, where duty serves and loves
Turtles and twins, court's brood, a heav'nly pair

Happy the heart that thinks of no removes!
Of no removes
