A woman holds out a pocket watch and ribbons. The border shows cupids and hearts; one cupid shoots a heart out of a thimble

below a heart on a fishhook labeled "Caught."

Notes |
Text: I know you, ma'am, your itching palm, / 'Mong ribbons and 'mong laces, / With artful play is wont to stray / In all
the dry-goods places. / Of diamond rings, and such-like things / Likewise a skilful sifter, / You'd better cease, ere the
police / Proclaim you a shop-lifter.
