No error near his shop-board lurk’d; He knew the folks for whom he work’d; Still to their size he aim’d his skill: Else, prithee, who would pay his bill? Prior.—Alma, Canto I. Line 182.	2
Never trust a tailor that does not sing at his work. Beaumont and Fletcher.—Knight of the Burning Pestle, Act II. Scene 8.	3
