A description of Bartholomew-Fair. Whether this be wit or nonsence, who need care, 'tis like the subject, which is Bartholomew-Fair; a mess of all-together, well enough, to get good money, which will make us huff, and swagger bravely, drink a glass, or ,so, with some kin she-acquaintance, which you know, are pretty tempting things, so much for that, I now must come to tell you plain and flat, that in this song the whole fair you may view, you may believe me when I tell you true. To the tune of, Digby's Farewel
