Tom gay's comical Jester, or The wit's merry medley : Being a new and most beautiful collection of brilliant jests, funny jokes, merry stories, humorous adventures, pleasant tales, smart repartees, witty quibbles, & Irish bulls, &c. &c. To which is added, a curious collection of new conundrums, rebusses and riddles, sharp epigrams, droll epitaphs, amorous, poems, songs, fables, &c.
