I
To all Lovers of Musick, Performers and Scapers,
to those that love Catches, play tunes and cut Capers.
With a New Catch I greet you and thou I say it that Shouldn't.
Like a Fiddle, 'tis musick tho the words are but wood 'n:
II
But my Brother John Playford and I shall present you,
e'er long with a Book, I presume will content you.
'Tis true we know well the sale of good musick,
But to hear us perform woud make him sick or you sick.
III
My maggot Man Sam, at the first Temple Gate,
will further inform you, if not my Wife Kate,
From between the two devils near Temple Bar,
I rest your Friend and servant John Carr.
