[Fine knacks for ladies, cheape choise braue and new]

Fine knacks for ladies, cheape choise braue and new,
Good penniworths but mony cannot moue,
I keepe a faier but for the faier to view,
A begger may bee liberall of loue,
Though all my wares bee trash the hart is true,
The hart is true,
The hart is true.
Great gifts are guiles and looke for gifts againe,
My trifles come, as treasures from my minde,
It is a precious Iewell to bee plaine,
Sometimes in shell th'orienst pearles we finde,
Of others take a sheafe, of mee a graine,
Of mee a graine,
Of mee a graine.
Within this packe pinnes points laces & gloues,
And diuers toies fitting a country faier,
But my hart where duety serues and loues,
Turtels & twins, courts brood, a heauenly paier,
Happy the hart that thincks of no remoues,
Of no remoues,
Of no remoues.
