  offramp: User: perfidious I read an item from history:

<“There are many variations, the ending ‘Gentleman, apothecary, ploughboy, thief’ being noted several times. Professor Skeat has pointed out that in Caxton’s The Game and Playe of the Chesse (c. 1475) each pawn is shown to have an individuality of its own. ‘The pawns were the Labourer, Smith, Clerk (or Notary), Merchant, Physician, Taverner, Guard and Ribald’, so the rhyme enumerates the eight conditions. ‘The thief is the Ribald; the ploughboy, the Labourer; the apothecary, the Physician; the soldier, the Guard; the tailor, the Merchant; the tinker, the Smith. Only two are changed.’ <([Notes and Queries]>, 1943).">
