A poem, Bartholomew-Fayr, is in A Choice Compendium; or, An Exact Collection of the Newest, and most Delightful Songs (entered in the Term Catalogues, February 1680@1); it refers to some of the activities at the Fair: @Here's that will Challenge all the Fayr,@Come buy my Nuts, Damzens, my Burgamy Pears;@Here's the Whore of Babylon, the Devil and the Pope,@The Girl is just a going on the Rope:@Here's Dives and Lazarus, and the Worlds Creation,@Here's the Tall Dutch Woman, the like's not i'th Nation.@Here is the Booth where the High-Dutch Maid is,@Here are Bares that Dance like any Ladies.@Tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, says the little Penny Trumpet.@Here's Jacob Hall that does Jump it, Jump it.@Sound Trumpets, sound, for Silver Spoon and Fork,@Come here's your Dainty Pigg and Pork.
