Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon round it.
The words of the Nursery Rhyme, 'Lucy Lockett' were based on
people and places in London during the 1700's. Lucy Lockett was
believed to be a barmaid at the Cock public House in Fleet Street,
London. This pub, or alehouse was first established in 1554 and
rebuilt in 1888. Samuel Pepys mentioned the Cock Alehouse in his
diary which stated:
April 23 1668
"To the Cock Alehouse and drank and eat a lobster, and sang..."
Kitty Fisher was a famous courtesan - Catherine Maria ('Kitty')
Fisher (died 1767). Her lifestyle was described as follows:
"She lives in the greatest possible splendor, spends twelve thousand
pounds a year, and she is the first of her social class to employ
liveried servants..."
The Pocket referred to was the old Middle English word for a pouch
or a small bag. The implication is that poor Lucy Lockett made very
little money as opposed to the similarly employed Kitty who was
envied for her great beauty and vast wealth!
