    (continued from previous page)
    And 'tis now they have made a beginning,
    The wheels are land'd the wool is rape-oiled
    The process of teasing, carding and spinning
    The warfs and weft yarns in bales nicely coiled.
    Up to fancy knitting all ladies are waking
    After slumbering for years in oblivion's shade
    Their mother's and grandmother's places are taking
    Scarfs, gloves, socks and fancy hose are made.
