And likewise; by Punch's Company of Commedians will be acted
this week, the Play of Whittington and his Cat; shewing how
he came to London a poor country boy, and was taken into a
rich merchant's house as a scullion under the cook maid,
with the hard usage he received from her, for which he was
going to leave his master; but hearing how bells ring, he
thought they told him to return; and by sending a cat for a
venture, he came to be three times Lord Mayor of London: To
conclude with a musical clock; front seats, two shillings;
middle seats, one shilling and six pence; back seats, one
shilling.
