in which he may again enjoy your Favour; which when he has enjoy'd, he does
intend to tarry till your Husband shall come in, and then accquaint him
that he has paid to him the fifty Guineas that he borrow'd of him on his
Ring; and so desire that he may have his Ring again; which is the thing he
aims at. For he well knows, that when you shall be askt whether or no you
have receiv'd the 50 Guineas, your Honour is so far concern'd, you can't
deny it_. O Treach'rous Villian _said the She Goldsmith, with some
indignation_, Is this the Generosity he so much boasted of? _Yes, Madam_,
says the Bawd, _this is what he designs to do; But I am so concerned to see
a Lady of your Worth so basely and ingratefully impos'd upon, I could not
but discover it: And if you wou'd be rul'd by me, you shou'd out-Trick the
Fop, and catch him in the Snare he'd lay for you._--O I'd do any thing to
be reveng'd on him, _cry'd the young Lady with some eagerness_: And do but
tell me how, and Keep my Counsel, and I'll so well reward you for your
Pains, that you shall say I'm grateful.--_Then Madam_, says the Bawd, _as
soon as your Husband comes to Town, before he comes to know of it, send one
to tell him that you must needs speak with him about earnest Business, and
when he's come, tell him that you expect your Husband the next day; and
therefore beg the Favour of him to let you have his Company that Night, and
as an Earnest of your Love to him, & that he should not think you
mercenary, you'll both return him Fifty Guineas, and give him back the Ring
he gave your Husband for a Pawn: And tell him likewise you have engag'd the
Maid to Secresie; for which if he presents her with a Guinea, 'tis all he
needs to do: This will, I'm sure engage him; for he's as Covetous as he is
Lustful: And when he's thus engag'd, in the next place acquaint your
Husband how you cou'd scarce have any quiet in his absence from this young
Spark's continual Solicitations to unlawful Love. Then tell him that you
have appointed him to come that Evening, of which you thought fit to
acquaint him, that he might give him that Correction which he saw
necessary, to cool his too hot Blood: This will so much confirm your
