a treat for every eye

'I am using old rags in my mill,
Where flowing water turns the wheel
That tears the rags and shreds them up.
Then I soak the pulp in water tub,
Mold the sheets, on a felt them lay,
And squeeze them in my press all day.
I hang them up to let them dry,
Snow-white and glossy, a treat for every eye.'

'Hans Sachs (1494'1576), the cobbler-poet. As quoted by Eugene F. Rice, Jr in The Foundations of Early Modern Europe, 1460'1559, 1970.
