Penny-worth of Wit,

IN THREE PARTS.

Part I. Shewing how a Merchant was deluded
from his Lady by a Harlot.

Part II. And how he ſailed to a far Country.

Part III. How he returned to the Britiſh Shore.

A PENNY-WORTH OF WIT.

PART I.

HERE is a penny-worth of wit,
for thoſe that ever went aftray;
If warning they will take by it,
’twill do them good another day.

It is a touch-ſtone of true love,
betwixt a Harlot and a Wife;
The former doth deftructive prove,
the latter yields the joys of life.
