The westminster frolick, or, The cuckold of his own procuring. being a true relation of a vintener, who for a considerable quantity of guinnies undertook to perswade his servant maid to prostitute herself to a young spark, pretending to her that it was no other but himself; whereupon she seemingly complying, discovered it to her mistriss, who supplying her place, grafted her husbands head. thus may we see how scurvy ill-star'd fate does cross some men, nay how they do create their own misfortunes, yet for to be bold the vintener got his horns well tipt with gold.
