after a Bottle of Wine at parting, they let him go; restoring him his
Cloaths and all things again. 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._

_How the Goldsmiths Wife went to the Bawd, and gave her an Account how
she had serv'd her Treacherous Gallant; and how the Bawd related
several of her own Exploits, _&c_ In a short History of her Life._

About a week after poor Mr. _Bramble_ had been so miserably handled by the
Contrivance of the old Bawd, and the Splenetick and Vindictive Temper of
the Goldsmith's Wife; whereby she doubled on himself all the Design he had
of Cheating her: She thought upon the Promise she had made to the Old Bawd,
of giving her a Visit, and Enlarging her Gratuity: For she saw clearly now
her Words were True, and _Bramble_ made a full account to Cheat her, tho'
'twas by the Exposing of her Honour, which she cou'd never have retriev'd
had it not been for the old Bawd's Advice; altho' indeed, when she had put
her in the way, she did her self improve it further to her own Advantage.
