Present of at least Fifty Guinea's; but yet, says she, if you will give me
but Five, I'll warrant you shall gain your Point without being at any
Charge at all: Make but that out, says he, and I'll promise you the five
Guinea's as soon as e'er I have enjoy'd her: No, Sir, says the Bawd, I'll
have my Money in hand; for you know, we never trust. Well, says he, here's

first, and then talk your Pleasure: Do, as I say; give her the fifty
Guineas; and when you have enjoy'd her stay with her, either in the
