An haberdasher, and a carpenter, A webbe (weaver), a dyer, and a tapiser (tapestry maker), Were with us eke, cloth'd in one livery, Of a solemn and great fraternity. Full fresh and new their gear y-picked was. Their knives were y-chaped not with brass, But all with silver wrought full clean and well, Their girdles and their pouches every deal. Well seemed each of them a fair burgess, To sitten in a guild-hall, on the dais. |
