Whilst my fine Politique gazed about,

The Cut-purse feately tooke the bottom out.

And cuts the strings, good foole goe make a jest,

This Dismall day thy purse was fairely blest.

Houlde fast good Noddy tis good to dreade the worse,

Your monie’s gone, I pray you keepe your purse.

The play is done and foorth the foole doth goe,

Being glad that he cousned the Cut-purse soe.

He thought to jybe how he the Cut-purse drest,

And memorize it for a famous jest.
