Generate meaning
1
Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
2
Good pennyworths but money cannot move,
3
I keep a fair but for the fair to view,
4
A beggar may be liberal of love.
5
Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true.
6
Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again,
7
My trifles come as treasures from my mind,
8
It is a precious jewel to be plain,
9
Sometimes in shell the Orient's pearls we find.
10
Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain.
11
Within this pack pins, points, laces and gloves,
12
And divers toys fitting a country fair,
13
But in my heart, where duty serves and loves,
14
Turtles and twins, Court's brood, a heav'nly pair.
15
Happy the man that thinks of no removes.
