Crispine and crispianus, or, The delightful and princely history of the gentle-craft: Containing many matters of great delight, very pleasant to read; shewing what famous men have been shoemakers in old times, with their worthy deeds and generous humours: also demonstrating why it was called the gentle-craft; and how the proverb first came, that a shoemaker's son is a prince born. Concluding with the shoemakers glory: being a merry song in the praise of shoemakers; to be sung by them every year on the twenty-fifth of October, being St. Crispine. Adorned with suitable pictures.
