The cloath-worker caught in a trap: or, A fool and his mony soon parted. Being a true relation of a cloath worker, dweelling [sic] in Thames-street who was wished by an old woman to a maid near Pauls church-yard, perswading him she had money at use, being a meer plot of the maiden and she to cheat him of his money, knowing him to be none of the wisest, cheated him of forty pound. If you will know then give good ear, the merriest jest that e'er you did hear. The tune is, How now jocky whither away. Or the tyrant.
