| The VVestminster Frolick. / Or, A Cuckold is a good mans Fellow. / 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, ne'r trust a tell tale lad. | |
