The Lace Pedlar

Who'll buy my laces? I've laces to sell!
Long laces, strong laces, short laces as well.
Laces of cotton, of silk and mohair,
Laces of leather, a penny a pair;
A lace for your body, a lace for your shoe;
Black laces, white laces, scarlet and blue,
Here is leather for schoolboys, and silk for a girl;
But a queen must have silver with taggles of pearl.
