Poor tom the taylorhis lamentation.giving an account how he pickt up a miss near the maypole in the strand, and also howhe handed her to the fair. where he treated her very generously, but according tothe old proverb, sweet meat must have sower sauce, for while he was safe a snoringin bed she very dexterously picked his pocket, leaving him to pay the reckoning,without ever a penny in his purse, this unfortunate disaster may well be a warning to all the taylors in or about london to forsake their old accustomed tricks, setting poortom before them as an example.
