Dowland: Fine Knacks for Ladies

Lyrics

Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new! Good pennyworths - but money cannot prove I keep a fair but for the fair to view A beggar may be liberal of love Though all my wares be trash The heart is true, the heart is true Though all my wares be trash The heart is true, the heart is true Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again; My trifles come as treasures from my mind It is a precious jewel to be plain Sometimes in shell the orient pearls we find Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain Of me a grain Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain Of me a grain Within this pack pins, points, laces and gloves And divers toys fitting a country fair; But my heart lives, where duty serves and loves Turtles and twins, court's brood, a heav'nly pair Happy the heart that thinks of no removes! Of no removes Happy the heart that thinks of no removes! Of no removes
