Other titles: Westminster frolick; In Westminster there is a wife
Notes: After the title follows a verse: "A wanton wife that loved a relishing bit, in Westminster the same then she did get; and it is now concluded so together, her husband must be fain to wear bulls-feather. But yet the youngster he did not do well, ah silly fool! that he must kiss and tell; she may thank her self the business is so bad play with a man, n'er trust a tell tale lad."

"Tune of, Hey boys slap goes she; or, Alas poor thing!".

Another ballad, with the same title (the first line of which is "A frolick strange I'le to you tell") was published by J. Wright, J. Clark, W. Thackery and T. Passenger, ca. 1676.
