Behold, children, behold, this is your affair! / These little ones play with pleasure; / And how they hop, spin, play, / Not one of them do you hear quarrel
See, children, what strange things this print shows you, / How trade is carried on in various fields, / Thus diligent industry is crowned in every craft, / Thus the lowest estate still finds something to live on
Trade, though carried on in small, / Yet seems to give some profit, / le commerce en petit, / Nourishes several people
