Lightly come, Lightly goe.
Captaine, ti's we do make things cheape or deare,As by our peny-worths it doth appeare.
A yard with vs is iust in length a pike:
To buy silkes so, what man is't will dislike,
Or say we vse our customers amisse?
Your London measure (friends) comes short of this,
Bee't three pile Veluet, Sattin, Taffaty,
A Souldiers Pike's the Ell we measure by.
Thus much for Mercers: next for Grocers trade,
Our weight is like vnto our measure made,
Our pound's a Cannon bullet, good downe vvaight,
In Spice, or Suger, this is no deceit.
Then for our wines (the squeaking Vintners Art)
We can affoord them for a penny a quarto.
Yea fill yon pintes euen by the bucket full,
But how can this be, faith some simple gull,
That neuer trauail'd out of Bow-bell sound?
Marry Sim-simple heare and stand thy ground.
That which we haue, we steale from friends and foes,
It comes good cheape, and so good cheape it goes.
