~ ~ ~ Sentence 8 ~ ~ ~
_Her Character: Or what she is._ A BAWD Is the Refuse of an Old Whore, who having been burnt herself, does like Charcoal help to set greener Wood on Fire; She is one of Natures Errata's, and a true Daughter of _Eve_, who having first undone herself, tempts others to the same Destruction.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 14 ~ ~ ~
She hates _Forty One_ as much as an old Cavalier, for at that Age she was forc'd to leave off Whoring and turn Bawd: Her Teeth are all fallen out; at which her Nose and her Chin are so much concern'd, that they intend to meet about it in a little time, and make up the difference.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 28 ~ ~ ~
Her Breath stinks worse than a Bear-garden, her Furniture consists of a Bed, a Plaister-Box and a Looking Glass: and a Pimp to bring in Customers.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 39 ~ ~ ~
_Of Pimps and Panders, what they are: with a Dialogue between a Whore, a Pimp, a Pander, an old Bawd, and a Prodigal Spend-Thrift about Preheminence._ In the House of Sin; I mean in a Bawdy House, there are other Instruments of Wickedness besides Bawds and Whores: For tho' the Bawd be the Person that keeps the House, and manages all in cheif, yet there are other Necessary Hangers-on belonging thereunto; and these are called Pimps and Panders, which are indeed a Sort of He-Bawds, and Procurers of Whores for other Men; of which one who is called a Pimp, is cheifly employ'd abroad, both to bring in Customers, and to procure such Wenches as are willing to be made Whores of: And these are a sort of Persons so far degenerated below humanity that they will sometimes procure their own Wives to be Whore for other Men.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 42 ~ ~ ~
Why you Impudent Rascal, says he, have you but one Whore in the House, that you make me thus stand empty-handed, like a Jack-a-napes, while my Companion's trading with the other?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 43 ~ ~ ~
The Pimp seeing the Man in such a Passion, Good Sir, says he be pacify'd, and I'll go down and sent up my own Wife to wait upon ye: Which he did accordingly.--Those that are called Pandars, are in a strict sense such as keep always within doors, and have the management of matters in the House.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 44 ~ ~ ~
These, are they that bring the Rogues, and Whores together, and wait upon them whilst they are acting of their filthiness.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 46 ~ ~ ~
The first that stood upon her Pantables, as being chief, was the Whore, and thus it was she manag'd her Cause.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 47 ~ ~ ~
_Whore._ That I ought to take place of the rest, is what none can without Impudence and great Injustice deny me: For 'tis I that bring in all your Livings, 'tis I that venture my Carcase, nay, that venture my Soul too; and all to get an honest livelihood.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 48 ~ ~ ~
Yes Mr. _Pimp_, for all your sneering, I say an honest livelihood; for I cheat no body, but pay for what I have, and make use of nothing but what's my own, and that no body can hinder me from.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 50 ~ ~ ~
Besides, I'll suffer nobody to have to do with me, but What I like; nor lie with any but whom I love; I make no Price with any Man; but take what they freely give; and therefore I can't properly be said to be a Whore, for Whores are they that trade for Hire and make Bargains before-hand, which I never do.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 52 ~ ~ ~
To this the Pimp thus replyed.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 53 ~ ~ ~
_Pimp._ Your run too fast, Mrs _Minx_, and are a little too Confident: For tho 'tis my place to attend, yet 'tis I that give a Credit and Reputation to all you do; I walk along the Streets so boldly, and so spruce, and so all-to-be-sented with sweet Powder, cocking my Beaver and looking big, that I make the greatest Gallant I meet give me the Wall, as if I were a Person of Quality; And when any comes hither they are won by my complemental and genteel Discourse; my comely presence brings in many a Guest into the House, besides particular Acquaintance: So that I may well affirm I am the Prop of the House.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 54 ~ ~ ~
If I didn't introduce Gentleman into your Company, I wonder what you'd do; you might e'en sit still, and be forc'd to make use of a _Dildo_, before any Body would come to you if it wan't for me.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 55 ~ ~ ~
This Speech of the _Pimp_, stirr'd up the Fury of the _Pander_, who with a great deal of heat made him this Answer.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 56 ~ ~ ~
_Pander._ Thou prating Cockscomb of a Pimp!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 63 ~ ~ ~
And if I stay at home, 'tis only to make an Ass of thee whilst thou'rt abroad; for where thou get'st one Shilling a Broad, I get Five at Home.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 72 ~ ~ ~
And now I have brought you to something, that you can get your own living, you begin to slite me.--And you Mr. _Pimp._ wa'n't you a pitiful Rogue, till I took you into my Service?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 84 ~ ~ ~
'Tis I that Satisfies the Whore, and pay the Fees of both the Pimp and Pander.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 123 ~ ~ ~
The young Lady, who was extreamly troubled at her late Disappointment, and her Husbands cruel Usage, and perceiveing that these things was feizable, she took the offer'd Counsel; and the Old Bawd having soon stript herself, and releas'd the young Lady, took her place in the Pond, whilst she went forth to the Bawds Apartment, and there met with her Gallant, who at first by her Garb took her for the Bawd, but was well pleas'd to find himself mistaken: And being told how matters stood, they made use of their time; and esteem'd themselves much beholden to the Bawd, by whose contrivance they thus come together; whilst she did greater Pennance, and under-went more Pain to procure their Pleasure, then they were then aware of: For the old Gentleman not being Satisfied in that Revenge he had taken on his Wife, for her making him a Cuckold; resolved to punish her farther, and so rises out of his Bed, and goes down to the side of the Pond; and there calls her a thousand Whores and Strumpets; Did not I (says he) take you in a manner without a Smock to your Arse, and desired no Portion with you, on purpose that you might be a dutiful and kind Wife, and maintain'd you as well as any Lady in the Land?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 128 ~ ~ ~
I'll make you an Example to all Whores that abuse their Husbands; and then pulling his Knife out of Pocket, he comes to her, and cuts off her Nose, and flings it in her Face; Now, Strumpet says he, take that for your Whoring, and present it to your Gallant: And having said that, he left her, and went up to his Bed, Leaving the old Bawd in a miserable condition.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 135 ~ ~ ~
Unhappy in having my Reputation taken away by him, and Unhappy in being us'd more barbarously and Ignominiously by him, than if I were a Common Whore!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 139 ~ ~ ~
_Come down, my Dearest Love, and see and be convinc'd how much you've wronged your Chaste and Loyal Wife._ The old Gentleman, that lay awake in his Bed and had hear'd all this, knew not what to think of it: He was sure he had cut off her Nose, and flung it at her Face, but had not faith enough to think it was set on again; and therefore thought it was some Trick to be releas'd: However, since she call'd to him to see and be convinc'd, he was resolv'd to know the Truth of it, and therefore rising up, and lighting of a Candle, he came down stairs and went straight to his Wife, and looking on her very earnestly, he sees her Face was whole and sound; at which he was so much confounded and amaz'd, that he began to fear lest Heaven, that had shew'd such a miracle in healing her, shou'd pour its Vengeance down upon his Head, for his detested rashness and his barbarous Cruelty; and therefore sets her loose immediately, and presently conveying her to Bed, _O thou that art all Goodness and all Innocence_ (said the transported Cuckold) _can'st thou forgive one that has wronged thee at that rate that I have done?_ _Yes, my dear Husband_ (answer'd the cunning Whore) _Since Heaven has heard my Prayer and clear'd my Innocence, I forgive all the World, but thee especially._ And thereupon her Husband made a solemn Protestation, That he wou'd never more be Jealous of his Wife, let her do what she would.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 140 ~ ~ ~
Thus you see how by the Cunning Contrivance of an Old Bawd, a young Lady was made a Whore, and an old Dotard a young Cuckold.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 144 ~ ~ ~
_How a Married Man, drawn in by a Bawd, kept a Whore, to the Ruine of himself and Family._ We have seen in the last chapter how our Bawd drew in a young Married Woman to deceive her Husband, and wrong the Marriage-Bed: And in this Chapter you shall see how she draws in a Married Man to follow Whoring, so the Ruine of himself, a vertuous Wife, and all his Family: For if she can but Rise, she cares not who she Ruines.--But to the Story.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 145 ~ ~ ~
An Impudent Whore, of our Bawds own bringing up, that by removing to several Quarters, had made a shift to escape _Bridewel_, which she merited as much as any that ever came thither, had through the Bawds assistance, drawn in one Foolish Fellow, by her Rich Robes, fair face, and fine Words, to maintain her like a Lady; tho' she was but the Daughter of a sorry Informer: Pride and Pleasure were the two Idols she ador'd; and to enjoy them, she cared not how she exposed her poor Cully; who was oblig'd to be liberal to the Bawd for Procuration, as well as to the Whore for Fornication: Till at last her Pride and Pleasure had brought him to Pain and Poverty.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 148 ~ ~ ~
She has made the most of one, and now she must have another: _Well_, says the Bawd, _Do but carry your self, reserv'd and Maidenly, and I have a Spark that has a good Estate, and will be able to spend high upon you; but he must have a Maid, and that I have taught you well enough how to Counterfeit:_--Is he a married Man or single, says the Trull?--_A married Man_, replies the Bawd, _but that's nothing as long as he has Money: It were better indeed, that he were single, for then I cou'd draw him in to marry you; and he might make a good Cover; but don't fear but we'll do well enough as 'tis.--Only besure you carry it shy at first, and that's the way to draw him in, and make him the more Eager._--Let me alone for that, says the Whore; do you but bring us together, and then leave it to me to make him bite: I warrant you I'll manage him, or else say I am the veriest Whore in all the Town.--Which she might have safely ventur'd to do, without being Guilty of Lying.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 149 ~ ~ ~
The Plot being thus laid, Mother Damnable goes out upon the scent, and finds the Whore-hunter she wanted; and then tells him, that she had been at great charge and expence to find out a Lass fit for his Purpose, But, says she, tis such a one, That for Beauty, Birth and Breeding, is hardly to be matched in _London_: She is indeed somewhat Coy, but I will help to Court her for you: I protest I could have had Ten Guineas of Sir _R---- P----_ if I would have helpt him to her: But I hate to be worse than my Word; I promised you before, that when I could light of one fit for your Turn, I would help you to her--Mr. _Graceless_, over-joyed at this News, and to shew himself grateful to the old Bawd, presents her with a Guinea, before he saw his Miss--Who being hereby incouraged, soon brings them together; and at first sight he's mightily taken with her.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 165 ~ ~ ~
Then to put her in a good humour, be promises her a new Satin Gown; but this won't serve her turn neither, she wants jewels and Diamond Rings to answer her other Apparel: And to procure these, he's fain to run on the Score both with the Mercer and Goldsmith--By this means in a little time his Estate comes to be wasted, and his Friends come about him, and advise him to leave off these wicked Courses, which else will end in the Ruine both of Soul and Body: They tell him that he has a fair and vertous Wife of his own, by whom he has had several pretty Children, and therefore wonder how he can be so besotted with a filthy Whore.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 175 ~ ~ ~
Think, O my Husband, what a Reflection it will be upon you, when Men shall say, Your Father left you an Estate to live upon, but you have spent it upon Whores, and left your Children Beggars.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 182 ~ ~ ~
Or if you'll pity neither me nor your poor Children, pity your self: for you will suffer most in the Conclusion: You cannot think that you please God in living as you do: Can you take Comfort (think you) in remembering that you have ruin'd both your self and Family, by keeping of a Whore, when you shall lie upon your Dying Bed, and your poor Soul is just taking of its flight into Eternity?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 190 ~ ~ ~
'Tis time to bring her down: A stinking dirty Slut, to rail at me!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 204 ~ ~ ~
She has Money enough it seems to hire her private Spies to find our meeting out: She serves you right enough: Well, be a Fool, and let her rail on still; And shew thy self a poor kind-hearted Ass!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 228 ~ ~ ~
_Here lies the poor Remains of a good Wife,_ _Who through an unkind Husband lost her life:_ _Tho' she was vertuous, yet he kept her poor;_ _And spent his Substance on a filthy Whore._ _Whilst she in vain of him implor'd Relief,_ _She sunk beneath a weighty Load of Grief:_ _Which Death perceiving, prov'd her kindest Friend,_ _And lent his Aid to bring her to her End:_ _Which if her Husband does not now lament,_ _He shall (when 'tis too late) at last Repent._ _And tho' he revels now without controul,_ _Yet she shall Sing, when 'tis his turn to howl._ This Good-Woman's Death, was very welcome to her unkind Husband, who had now no Body to controul him in his wicked Courses; but the Bawd the Whore and himself had a merry Meeting the next day after she was buried; and being well flushed with Wine, the Jilt thus began to Triumph: _Whore._ Well now, my Dear, we shall be all at ease; and I am rid of them that hated me: For my Part I am resolv'd to mourn in Sack; for now I need not fear her Spies that us'd to be still harkening at the Door; that I cou'd hardly let a Fart, but it was carryed to her straight by one or other.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 242 ~ ~ ~
Whilst he being threatned with a Goal for Mortgaging his Lands twice over, was fain to Skulk about, and to play least in sight: Thus he that but a while ago profusely spent his Money on a Whore, was now reduc'd to that condition that he wanted Bread: Whilst both the Bawd and Whore which he had wasted all upon, forsook him without so much as minding what became of him; but left him poor and penniless, to seek his Bread where he could get it.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 243 ~ ~ ~
And thus deserted by the Whore, and hated by all honest People, and haunted by a guilty self-accusing Conscience, he became a Burthen to himself: Cursing the Day in which he harkned to the Bawd's Insinuations, by whose means he was thus drawn in, to ruine both himself and all his Family: And being almost starv'd for want of Sustenance, o'er-come with Grief and black Despair, he dy'd.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 245 ~ ~ ~
_Here lies a Man who would not Warning take,_ _And now for others may a Warning make:_ _He spent his Substance upon _Bawds_ and _Whores_,_ _Destroy'd his Wife, turn'd's Children out of Doors._ _And yet when all was spent, and he grown Poor,_ _He was forsaken both by _Bawd_ and _Whore_._ _Let all henceforth of _Bawds_ and _Whores_ beware,_ _By whom he was betray'd to black Despair._ _Thus Reader, by this Story thou may'st see_ _How by Lewd Women Men deluded be:_ _The _Bawd's_ the Setter, and the Shameless _Whore__ _Sucks him so dry, she quickly makes him Poor._ _First of his Wit, then of his Wealth bereaves him;_ _And when she has got all she can, she leaves him._ _Then let all Mankind loath this filthy Jade,_ _Since Ruin and Destruction is her Trade._ * * * * * CHAP.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 247 ~ ~ ~
_Now Pox tauk you but me tank you for your Loof, and be me Shoul, so mush baust as I been, I shall mauk Drink upon my Country-Mons; for fait and trot now dear Joy, Eirish Mons never been base_; and so in a doors he comes; and the Bawd has him into a Room presently, and tells him she'll go call his Country-man; but instead of his Country-man, sends in a Whore to him; who at her coming, thus accosted him, Country-man I am very glad to see you; I have got a Pot of Ale at your Service for St. _Patrick_'s sake; and the old Bawd having brought in a Pot, the Wench takes it up, Here, says she, here's a good health to St. _Patrick_: _Wid all mine heart_, said the Teague-Lander, _& Pox tauk me as I no mauk Pledge upon him_; and thereupon pledg'd her, & drank a good draught; and then the Jade beginning to be sweet upon him, he was so well pleas'd, that he forgot his Errant; and fell a kissing her; upon which she ask'd him to go up stairs, to which he readily consented: and there she let him take all the Liberty he had a Mind to; for which to recompence her, the Bog-trotter gave her Six-pence.--But when he came down, the Bawd ask'd him how he lik'd his Country-Woman, and whether she had pleas'd him?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 250 ~ ~ ~
He did what he wou'd, answer'd the Whore; he danc'd the Corranto's two or three times; and might have done it oftner if he wou'd: But he gave me but Sixpence: How Wench, says the old Bawd, but Sixpence!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 278 ~ ~ ~
Who answered, Past Eleven: The Gentleman at this begins to get up, to be going; but it was now too late, and they would by no means let him at that time of Night; to which end they urg'd that it was an obscure place they liv'd in, and it might be very dangerous (tho his greatest danger was in being there) and that he shou'd have a good Bed at his Service there: The Gentleman finding himself almost fluster'd, and thinking he was secure where he was, agreed to stay till the next Morning: Upon which the t'other Bottle of Wine was brought in, & then he began to be very frollicksome, and would needs be Kissing Miss _Betty_, who pretended a great kindness for him; which pleas'd _Brightwel_ so much, that he wou'd'nt go to Bed without she'd lie with him; which she not only promis'd, but was as good as her word; yet engages him to take no notice of it to her Mother, and then as soon as he was a Bed, she'd come to him: Accordingly, after he was a Bed, she comes to Bed to him, as she before had promis'd: And after they had both gratify'd their wanton desires, the Whore professing a great deal of Love to him, and pretending she shou'd never be happy till they were married, Miss _Betty_ all of a sudden pretends to want the Chamber-pot, which she desir'd him to help her to, who feeling about for it for sometime, cou'd'nt find it; upon which she told him she remember'd the Maid left it in the Window and desir'd him to reach it there; which he going to do, and treading upon a Trap door, it presently gave away; and down fell our Amorous Spark into the Alley; his Fall was but little, and so did but stun him for the present, and his being only in his Shirt quickly made him sensible of the cold; As soon as he came to himself he got up, and it being very dark, he knew neither where he was, nor which way to go; but endeavouring to find a door, he went on till he came to _Clerken well-green_; where seeing a Light at the Watch-house, he went thither; a Person all in white being seen by one of the Watch-men, he gave notice of it to the Constable; who with his whole Watch was very much affrighted, and began to exorcise this supposed Spirit; who being almost dead with cold, (for it was cold frosty Weather) told them he was no Ghost, but Flesh and Blood as they were; but Mr. _Constable_ was loth to believe him upon his own Word, and therefore commanding him to stand, sent one of the most Couragious of his Watch-men to see whether it was so or no; who having found him to be what he said, he was taken into the Watch house, and put to the Fire, and examined how he came into that condition; who gave the _Constable_ an account how he met with one Mrs _Pierpoint_ his Country-woman, by whom he was invited to her House, and what befell him there, related: But neither _Constable_ nor any of the Watch-men knowing any such Person, they supposed rightly that he had been drawn in by a Bawd, and had lain with a Whore, who had together Cheated him of what he had.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 281 ~ ~ ~
However they went and search'd several of the most notorious reputed Bawdy-Houses, but found nothing, and had only their Labour for their Pains: Whilst the Bawd and the Whore triumph'd in their wickedness, and were glad they had met with so easy a Cully, from whom they had obtain'd so good a Booty.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 285 ~ ~ ~
_How a Citizen went to a Bawdy-House for a Whore, and the Bawd helpt him to his own Wife._ A Certain Citizen in _London_, in the late times had a very fine Woman to his Wife; and had but her Vertue been equal to her Wit and Beauty, she might have deserved the first rank among Women: But Lust had so great an Ascendant in her, that her Husband was unable to Satisfie her over strong desires to the Delights of _Venus_: And therefore having Communicated her Thoughts to an Old Bawd that kept a House of Private Entertainment for the Accommodation of Persons of Quality of both Sexes, she told her that for a Guinea in hand to her, and two Guinea's for the drawing of her Picture, she might be enter'd into her Accedamy; whereby (says the Bawd) you may both receive the Satisfaction you want, and gain Money likewise; for the first Charge is all you will be put to, which will be but three Guinea's, and Ten Shillings to the Attendants, who by the Services they will do you, will very well deserve it: Then she enquir'd of the Bawd what the Custom of the House were, and how she must manage herself in that Affair?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 453 ~ ~ ~
She telling of him, as he was going out of Doors, _She hop'd that this wou'd be a warning to him how he hereafter went about to put Tricks upon Gentlewomen, or make his Boast what private Favours he had receiv'd from 'em._ _Thus still the Bawd tempts all she can to Sin,_ _And leaves them in the Lurch, when once they're in:_ _To heap up Gold, which she so much adores,_ _She makes Men Atheists, and makes Women Whores,_ _She lives by Sin; and if she can but gain,_ _She has her End, let those that list Complain._ * * * * * CHAP.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 473 ~ ~ ~
High'r Pow'rs rule us, our Selves can nothing do, Who made us Love, hath made Love lawful too.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 559 ~ ~ ~
But the old Cuss thinking to pacifie her Anger by convincing her it wan't so late, wou'd needs go look upon his Watch; but quickly finding that altho' the Nest was there, the Bird was flown, put up the Case again, with only saying, _Good lack a day!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 571 ~ ~ ~
The great Expences of my Sickness (which had besides made me unfit for Business) had brought me pretty low; and I was now quite destitute of any other way to help my self but the old Trade of Whoring; and yet I was afraid of being now a Common Night-walker, lest I shou'd meet with such another Job as I had met withal before; which wou'd have ruin'd me to all Intents and Purposes: But by a Friend of mine, that had been a Well-wisher to the calling, I was advis'd, as much the safer way, to list my self as a Retainer to a Private _Vaulting School_; where I was told (and indeed found it so) that there were none admitted but what were Sound and Tight.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 619 ~ ~ ~
But he knocking again, up comes the Mistress, who seeming to take him for a Woman, ask'd him, _What he would have?_ He answer'd, _Such a Woman to whom he'd lent his Cloaths_; but she not only made her self Ignorant of the matter, but call'd him _Bitch, Whore, Cheat, Pick-Pocket_, and all to nought, concluding her Harmonious Harrangue in this manner, _Ye dirty Drab, don't think to put your Cheats upon me: You came in here with a Spruce Young Man, and for ought I know you have Pick'd his Pocket, and sent him away, and now you go about to Cheat me of my Reckoning; but that shan't do ye _Whore_, for I'll have my Reckoning quickly, or else I'll Strip your Gown off your Arse_; but the poor Rogue having no Money to pay, she forthwith stript him of his Mant: And thus half Naked, in a Petticoat slit up to the Breeches; an old broken pair of Stays, and a few Ragged Head-Cloaths, he was kick'd down Stairs into the Street.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 641 ~ ~ ~
This indeed increas'd my surprise, and made me a little mute for the Present; which he seeing, got between the Door and us, and then was so uncivil as to tell me, That I was a Vile Woman; and all the difference he knew between a Bawd and a Procurer, was only such as was between a common _Tom-Turd-Man_, and a Person of Qualities House-Maid, who Emptied _Close-Stools_: And then told Mrs _Gertrude_ that the difference between her and the Trulls that pli'd in the Streets, was no other then betwixt a common _Vau't_ and a Private _Close-stool_.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 690 ~ ~ ~
And that occasion'd your being turn'd out of Doors; and that taking all sense of shame from you, (as you well observed) exposed you to a thousand Temptantions; which being suited to your own Natural Inclinations, you presently closed withal; which in a little time was, it seems, attended by the Pox; and which besides, many times laid you open to the Cognizance of the Civil Magistrate; and made you afraid of every one you saw; which must needs be a very uneasy Life.--I can speak some thing of this by my own experience: For after I had given way to Mr. _Bramble_'s desires, and yeilded to his Unlawful Embraces, I was so full of Guilt, that when ever my Husband call'd hastily to me, or spoke in the least angrily, I thought it was to tell me of my playing the Whore with Mr. _Bramble_, my guilt still flying in my Face; so that I wou'd not be expos'd to the like Fears again, for double the value of what I receiv'd from him.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 709 ~ ~ ~
No, Damn it, says she, I had rather be my own Mistress, and go to Bed and rise when I will, then to be curb'd by every Snotty Dame.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 718 ~ ~ ~
The young Slut nothing daunted by what I had said (says the Constable) presently pluck'd up her Coats, and told me she'd find me other Business to do.
