Draw boy! Aloft, to work the heddles! 'Tis time to make a brilliant brocade. With you above, I'll tromp the treadles, And throw by throw, the device is laid.
A line of lilies and a row of roses Will complement the virtuous pear; The gleam of gold slyly discloses Every detail embroidered there.
The cloth will caress much softer skin; Soft hands will brush the raised design When noblemen waltz, their brides to win With plumage embossed with art divine.
"Clothes make the man", and oh, such joy; That delicate craft was the work of a boy!

Soft hands will brush the raised design
When noblemen waltz, their brides to win
With plumage embossed with art divine.
