| Ballad Title | The Maltster caught in a Trap / Or, The Witty Ale-Wife. / This Ale-wife she was run upon the Maltster's score / Full Twenty pounds for Malt, I think, and more: / But he desir'd a bit of Venus Game, / And I think he paid full dearly for the same: / He made a Discharge I say for once, / And glad he was that he could save his Stones: / He was lamfateed till his bones were sore; / He has made a vow he'l ne'r come there no more; / The Ale-wifes Husband did so belabour him, / That made him stink and piss for very shame. |
| Tune Imprint | Tune is, What should a young woman do with an old man: Or, Digbys Farewel. |
