a race or two of ginger
rice,--what will this sister of mine do with rice?
But my father hath made her mistress of the feast,
and she lays it on. She hath made me
four and twenty nose-gays for the shearers,
three-man-song-men all, and very good ones;
but they are most of them means and bases;
but one puritan amongst them,
and he sings psalms to horn-pipes.
I must have saffron to colour the warden pies;
mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note;
nutmegs, seven; a race or two of ginger,
but that I may beg; four pound of prunes,
and as many of raisins o' the sun.
