|<br><div id="Fowler"></div><br>''Master''. || <br>Fowler, what have you to say ? How do you deceive the birds ? <br>|- valign="top"|'''''Fowler'''''. || I have many ways of deceiving the birds; sometimes by nets, sometimes by snares, sometimes by lime, sometimes by whistling, sometimes by a hawk, sometimes by a trap. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Have you a hawk ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Fowler''. || I have one. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Do you know how to tame them ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Fowler''. || Yes, I know how. What use would they be to ine, unless I knew how to tame them ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Pray give me a hawk. <br>|- valign="top"|''Fowler''. || Willingly, if you will give me in return a swift dog. What sort of hawk do you want, a large one, or of the smaller kind? <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Give me a large one. How do you feed your hawks? <br>|- valign="top"|''Fowler''. || They feed themselves, and me in the winter, and in the spring I let them fly away to the wood, and I catch young ones in the autumn and tame them. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || And why do you allow those whom you have tamed to fly away from you ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Foider''. || Because I do not like feeding them in the summer, for they eat too much. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Yet many persons keep the hawks which they have tamed through the summer, that they may have them ready again. <br>|- valign="top"|''Fowler''. || Yes, they do, but I am not inclined to bestow so much labour on them, as I know how to catch others, and many of them. <br>|- valign="top"

|<br><div id="Merchant"></div><br>''Master. ''|| <br>What have you to say, Merchant ? <br>|- valign="top"|'''''Merchant'''''. || I maintain that I am useful to the King, and to the nobles, and to the wealthy, and to the whole people. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || How so ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Merchant''. || I go on board ship, with my merchandise. I sail to regions beyond the sea, and sell my goods, and buy valuable produce that is not made in this country, and I bring it you here. I face great dangers in crossing the ocean and sometimes I suffer shipwreck, with the loss of all my goods, hardly escaping with my life.<br> |- valign="top" |''Master''. || What kinds of things do you bring us ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Merchant''. || Purple and silk, precious stones and gold, various sorts of clothing, pigments, wine and oil, ivory, copper, brass and tin, sulphur and glass, and the like. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || Are you willing to sell your things just as you bought them there ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Merchant''. || By no means. If I did so, what good would my labour be to me ? I wish to sell dearer here, than I bought there, that I may gain some profit, to keep myself, and my wife and son. <br>|- valign="top"

|<br><div id="Shoemaker"></div><br>''Master''. || <br>You, Shoemaker, what do you produce ? <br>|- valign="top"|'''''Shoemaker'''''. || My craft is indeed very useful and necessary for you. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || How is that ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Shoemaker''. || I buy skins and hides, and prepare them, and make various kinds of sandals, slippers, shoes, and high boots, besides bridles, harness, and other horse trappings, halters and spurs; and also leather bottles, flasks, purses, and bags. ''(The order of some of these names has been transposed in the translation so as to bring together those that appear to have the same meaning. It is by no means easy to identify the signification of these names.)''<br>|- valign="top"

|<br><div id="Salter"></div><br>''Master''. || <br>Oh, Salter, of what value is your craft to us? <br>|- valign="top"|'''''Salter'''''. || My craft is of great value to all of you; none of you would enjoy his dinner or supper unless my craft were his entertainer. <br>|- valign="top"|''Master''. || How is that ? <br>|- valign="top"|''Salter''. || What man would enjoy pleasant meats, without the savour of salt ? Who could fill his pantry, or his storeroom without my craft ? Behold, all your butter and cheese would perish, unless I were near to be their keeper, and you could not use your herbs without me. <br>|}
