Baroness Gwenllyen the Minstrel
AKA Janet Scheltema
Here practice and invention may be
free,
And as a squirrel skips from tree to
tree,
So maids may (From their mistress, or
their mother)
Learn to leave one work, and to learn
another.
For here they may make choice of which
is which,
And skip from work to work, from
stitch to stitch,
Until in time delightful practice
shall
(With profit) make them perfect in
them all.
The Needles Excellency1631.
