Here practise and invention my be free And as a squirrel skips from tree to tree, So maids may (from their mistresses or their mother) Learn to leave one worke, and learne another. For here they may make choice of which is which, And skip from worke to worke, from stitch to stitch, Until, in time, delightful practise shall (With profit) make them perfect in them all. Thus hoping that these workes may have this guide To serve for ornament, and not for pride: To cherish verture, banish idlenesse, For these ends, may this booke have good successe. "The Needle's Excellency--John Taylor, 1580-1658
