Where are you faire maides,
that have neede our trades?
I'll sell you a rare confection:
Will yee have your faces spread
Either with white or red?
Will yee buy any fair complection?

My drugges are no dregges,
For I have whites of egges,
Made in a rare confection.
Red leather and surflet water,
Scarlet colour or staues-aker,
Will yee buy any fair complection?
