wou'd not do: Fain he'd ha'd sav'd running the hazard of his fifty Guineas;
but when he found he cou'd not without such a Present obtain his wish'd
Enjoyment, he as his last Effort, address'd her thus: Well, Madam; I do
perceive you are of kin to _Danae_, whom _Jove_ himself could not prevail
upon until he courted her in Showers of Gold, an that dissolv'd her quickly
into Love; & I intend to follow his Example, and to Enjoy your Favour I
make this Present to you, and, therewithal gave her the fifty Guineas. And
this had so soon molified her Stubborness, and made her maleable, that she
straight made him this agreeable Return; Well, Sir, I see you are so much a
Gentleman, that I scarce know how to deny you any longer: Your Amiable
Person and good Humour, has over-come me so, I can no longer make
Resistance, but offer my self to your Embraces. The Gallant then enquir'd
if all were safe below, and if they shou'd not be in danger of meeting any
Interruption from her Husband. To which she bid him never fear, all was
secure enough. And then conducting him into the Chamber, she let him have
what he so much desir'd. When he had thus debauch'd her, and satisfy'd his
Lustful Appetite, he ask'd her how long 'twould be before her Husband wou'd
be at home again, she told him he was gone out of Town; and wou'd not be at
home this Ten-days. At which he seem'd to be surpriz'd, for he was loath to
be without his Ring so long; but since there was no Remedy, he was resolv'd
to wait till he came home. His Mistress seeing him so indifferent at the
hearing of her Husbands Absence, cou'd not tell what to think shou'd be the
reason of it; and ask'd him what 'twas troubled him? Nothing, my Dear, said
he, but I was thinking how crosly things fell out; because my own Affairs
obliges me to be some Days out of Town just at this happy Juncture, when I
might have been blest so oft with your Embraces. The cunning Baggage (now
she had got his fifty Guinea's) was as indifferent as he for that, and told
him Time might present 'em with another opportunity which might be full as
favourable. And so they parted.
