in_o praise_n of_o the_o tailor_n trade_n the_o tailor_n trade_n be_v ancient_a all_o we_o know_v for_o in_o the_o first_o of_o time_n they_o learn_v to_o sow_v and_o make_v they_o breeches_n then_o and_o apron_n too_o but_o be_v not_o worth_a a_o fig_n to_o what_o it_o be_v now_o threadneedle-street_n likewise_o to_o all_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o ancient_a street_n in_o london-town_n the_o cross-legged_a sign_n be_v there_o the_o first_o set_v up_o and_o likewise_o there_o be_v first_o a_o tailor_n shop_n their_o arm_n be_v ancient_a too_o and_o well_o they_o fit_v which_o be_v three_o rampant_a louse_n and_o a_o cluster_n of_o nit_n which_o coat_n of_o arm_n with_o something_o else_o have_v make_v more_o gentleman_n of_o that_o than_o any_o trade_n and_o now_o i_o do_v believe_v you_o will_v know_v the_o cause_n have_v patience_n and_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a gentleman_n that_o be_v decay_v who_o once_o have_v be_v a_o rich_a and_o ruffle_a blade_n bring_v we_o doublet_n to_o mend_v to_o a_o tailor_n house_n on_o which_o be_v creep_v many_o a_o lusty_a louse_n but_o one_o more_o large_a and_o rampant_a than_o the_o rest_n which_o make_v the_o tailor_n think_v he_o be_v the_o best_a and_o chief_a of_o all_o that_o sharp_a backbiting_a crew_n which_o he_o take_v up_o and_o cut_v he_o just_a in_o two_o with_o his_o new_a shears_o and_o give_v his_o wife_n one_o half_a to_o eat_v and_o the_o other_a half_n do_v eat_v himself_o and_o from_o that_o time_n do_v very_o think_v that_o he_o be_v a_o gentleman_n and_o of_o antiquity_n because_o that_o louse_n he_o know_v have_v suck_v before_o of_o the_o ancient_a gentleman_n blood_n such_o store_n and_o his_o wife_n likewise_o do_v very_o think_v she_o be_v a_o gentlewoman_n too_o for_o that_o very_a cause_n and_o so_o do_v write_v themselves_o do_v all_o we_o can_v because_o they_o eat_v so_o much_o of_o the_o gentile_a blood_n nay_o his_o man_n do_v say_v he_o be_v half_o a_o gentleman_n have_v lick_v the_o shears_o that_o cut_v the_o louse_n in_o twain_o then_o he_o drink_v hard_o which_o you_o know_v do_v make_v we_o gentleman_n all_o that_o be_v friend_n to_o bacchus_n and_o when_o other_o will_v leave_v half_a in_o the_o cup_n yet_o he_o will_v always_o wind_v his_o bottom_n up_o nay_o those_o which_o drink_v not_o he_o will_v say_v be_v dull_a and_o tell_v they_o still_o it_o be_v but_o a_o thimbleful_a he_o can_v not_o drink_v to_o mend_v his_o blood_n i_o be_o sure_a you_o know_v his_o blood_n be_v good_a enough_o before_o when_o other_o gentleman_n will_v say_v they_o be_v gentleman_n of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o shire_n yet_o he_o excel_v they_o all_o in_o spite_n of_o their_o ear_n they_o come_v from_o one_o his_o from_o a_o pair_n of_o shear_n and_o whereas_o other_o man_n do_v call_v the_o court_n behind_o their_o house_n a_o backside_n he_o in_o sport_n command_v they_o all_o to_o call_v it_o a_o yard_n for_o he_o know_v his_o wife_n will_v be_v well-pleased_a with_o that_o name_n too_o and_o please_v she_o he_o must_v in_o all_o his_o discourse_n because_o the_o grey_a mare_n be_v know_v the_o better_a horse_n and_o likewise_o know_v it_o do_v belong_v to_o his_o trade_n without_o a_o yard_n no_o measure_n can_v be_v make_v some_o say_v by_o surgery_n too_o he_o be_v grow_v rich_a for_o never_o man_n do_v better_o cure_v a_o stitch._n your_o lawyer_n likewise_o much_o a_o tailor_n praise_n say_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a trade_n nowadays_o nay_o best_a for_o a_o lawyer_n in_o all_o the_o land_n '_o cause_n he_o have_v still_o so_o many_o suit_n in_o hand_n one_o ask_v he_o why_o he_o marry_v a_o northern_a woman_n he_o tell_v he_o in_o their_o trade_n it_o be_v very_o common_a because_o their_o needle_n still_o to_o the_o north_n do_v tend_v and_o as_o their_o needle_n guide_v so_o they_o must_v bend_v he_o have_v a_o goose_n too_o that_o flutter_v still_o so_o high_a and_o be_v so_o proud_a that_o it_o

fellow_n say_v when_o he_o be_v get_v in_o drink_n that_o a_o tailor_n foot_n stink_v the_o worst_a of_o any_o trade_n whatsoever_o although_o there_o be_v many_o and_o reason_n give_v we_o why_o
