Lady and gentlemen fays, come buy!
No pedlar has such a rich packet as I.
Who wants a gown
Of purple fold,
Embroidered down
The seams with gold?
See here!--A Tulip richly laced
To please a royal fairy's taste!
Who wants a cap
Of crimson grand?
By great good hap
I've one on hand;
Look, sir!--a Cockscomb, flowering red,
'Tis just the thing, sir, for your head!
Who wants a frock
Of vestal hue?
Or snowy smock?--
Fair maid, do you?
O me!--a Ladysmock so white!
Your bosom's self is not more bright!
Who wants to sport
A slender limb?
I've every sort
Of hose for him:
Both scarlet, striped, and yellow ones,
This Woodbine makes such pantaloons.
Who wants--(hush! hush!)
A box of paint?
'Twill give a blush
Yet leave no taint:
This Rose with natural rouge is fill'd,
From its own dewy leaves distill'd.
Then, lady and gentlemen, come buy!
You never will meet such a merchant as I!
