The libretto was by Christian Felix Weiße (1726–1804) based on the ballad opera The Devil to Pay, or The Wives Metamorphos'd by Charles Coffey (1731), and an opéra comique text by Michel-Jean Sedaine using the same material.
Mottley was joint author with Charles Coffey of the comic opera, ‘The Devil to pay, or the Wives Metamorphosed,’ produced at Drury Lane on 6 August 1731, and frequently revived.
Various versions with added music appeared later, and Charles Coffey used it as the basis of his opera The Devil to Pay in 1731.
