A Ballad Farce by Charles Coffey. While it is often attributed to Colley alone, it was co-authored with John Mottley. According to Cumberland's British Theatre (as cited in John Hopkins library catalogue[1]), it was based on Thomas Jevon's The devil of a wife (1686), which was turned into an opera by Charles Coffey and John Mottley, and later reduced to one act" by Theophilus Cibber (Colley Cibber) and called a "comic opera". In 1831 it was printed as two acts.
