Marry I meet with merry Hectors and trade with none but such as come on nobly fall on neatly and retreat gallantly they give me Py-cornor Law and Py-corner pay and I am contented to the life Moll Well then thou hast the quintissence of happiness we enjoy no pleasure like thine no nor profit neither for though we get by our Canns we lose by Informers and such like varlets that steal away our profit so that I am destitute of any thing but the P and the praise a common benefit to all the Female sex but I want the half-Crowns through neglect of a Chuck-Office Bette Would I had thought of that before I might then have borrow'd Jack-a-Newberrys six Wind-mills they being hung out at my dore would have brought custom enough but now I must lose a Hog for a half-penny-worth of Tar for custome is so dull there 's nothing to be got but by impudence which I am well furnisht with but dare not be too publick lest like our dear sister Tory Rory I be forc'd to beat out my living at the Hemp-block or be transported as some of my brethren were yesterday Yet hang sorrow fear no colours for they that want impudence may be supply'd here with Kettles Pans Ladles Skillets or Skimers to rub their Faces on whereby they may be as well brass'd as any Morter-piece that was in St. Jameses Fair therefore let 's venter a hazzard all are not taken that use our profession but stay who comes here the Wandring-whore I think 't is she if not my eyes grow dull 't is shee faith see how she spreads her sails View but the Motto on her standard Moll two rampant VVH are turning up their Tayles VVand VVh The very same in sooth for I have wandred too and fro through the Fair pickt up many a Dick and gull'd many a Cully of his Nab tipt his bung and sent his Callee to Egypt but this is nothing to the high Trade I drive at home when they come there I spread my Colours and receive the Spanish Rogue into my French quarters where he turn'd the Pig so long till one of his best members was lost in the dripping-pan yet the Jack-weights are secure and hang fast still but this whelp of Scoggin complains of a losse I never was or at least will be sensible of which was by a pinch in the Pocket but that I own not his which I my self have in possession For when the Cole is gone the simple Elf Is not the owner of it but my self Bette But Sister how drive you this Trade to insert anothers account so neatly in the Almanack of your Pocket VVand -VVh By two long fingers made for that purpose to dive into the Pockets of such Gulls who after the receit of two or three Cups forget the strength of their own Estates Moll That 's a pure strain But how do you begin or what means use you forr the enticing young Hectors into your Garrison VVand -VV To entice young punys I lye as open as Noon-day sit down at the dore set one foot to the right the other to the left as far distant as I can spread my imperfect Limbs and cry Lads her 's a can of the best liquor in the fair claping my hand on my market-place and saying here 's your Ware boys which invitation with a wink a smile and a chuck under the Chin brings in the bonny Lads as easily as a hungry foul eats dry bread Peg. And I for my part cry here boys here 's the best Pigs head in the Fair a rare quarter of Lamb pure Mutton and the best buttock bief in England but how comes in your profit when they are in your Garrison Wandring-W I spread my shrouds vnvail my Cabinet disclose my secrets and open the pure Linnen Curtains that hang before my chief Fortress drink a Cann or two smoak sing old Rose dance and when the Gull is elivated I Hull him asleep as Delilah did Sampson and then turn Philistine tip his Bung and deprive him of the strength of his Estate so he rises when he awakes as poor as Job thinking he hath been in Heaven when indeed newly crept out of the Devils Vestry marching off like a sencelesse piece of iniquity not thinking of his losse till he comes into the Fair to lay out his mony in Bawbles for his sweet-beart it may be in Gloves Ribbons Rings Beads Bracelets or other such like Fancies yet coming to pay diving in his Pocket for Coal he finds all as clear as a room new swept thus by my free entertainment I free him from the sin of covetousnesse Mol. And I in good sooth am as Common and free to my Customers as a Cream-pot to a Dary maid and that brings them in as fast as water runs through a scieve They come in with their fowl Pipes and I like an able Doctress cleanse them with a P I clear the stem and also burn the bowle Till it 's as white as Pot-hooks or Char-coale Peg. I but tell me what dost thou do with a company of Varlets call'd Permoters for I am more plagu'd with them then any other vermine whatever Mol. Marry Peg in our Duck quarters if they once appear we know the Knaves so well that we put them in an upper room then borrow a quart pot and fill that frothing full to blind them whilest-we pinch the Cans of our Gulls to secure our own profit For though by them our getting is but small The noble Hectors sure to pay for all Mol. Come you are an old wandring Who know all Postures and turn up your tayl to all sorts of Culls what do you for a contented Coxcomb to keep the dore whilst you do excercise with your Hectors by the Turks entring the Castle of Comfort Wand -Wh I tell the Moll though my hvsband be a mere Mopus to a man of mettle yet my Gusmond is a man able to defend me and a pure Rogue that I dare trust with the Cabinet of Venus with the Key to unlock it and indeed with all my secreets Hee 'l Pimp purely for half a Crown a day besides his Vails I and Trapan young Gallants too whereby my Trade daily increases Customers come in nimbly and go out as merrily as thieves to Tiburn So to the world my Hector young appears when he comes out with nought but hanging Ears Bess. I 'le tell thee Peg I thrive as well as any of them all for a young Bump coming late to Bacon-Lane full of Coale my pretty Mob Nell with the wink of an eye drew him in to my Garrison we two so smoakt him after a collation of bread and Bacon that by drinking sporting-and-kissing the fool lost his purse but how he knew not for the reckoning being suddainly brought in his Quids were vanisht his pocket saying No point Larshon the pennyless puppy supposing his Bung had bin tipt in the Fair before he came in was forc'd to leave his Callee for the reckoning this Tuskin being a zealot was loath to tumult lest he should be discovered therefore he durst not out-face us whose impudence might well have startled a more able Hectors Yet when the Bump was marcht off we sustained by his losse 5 pound advantage towards our house-rent a few such Jobs at Lady-fair will find Puppy-dog-water for the refreshing our beautys till next Fair besides silk-Gowns smock-petty-Coats and White-Aprons Thus did this Gull for fear our secreets smoother Lest he should counted be a sinful Brother We gave him leave to drink to sport and play Whilst we his Purse and Coal convey'd away Peg. Sister Bette let 's away break off our discourse and betake our selves to our heels for here comes two pittiful fellows call'd Beadles therefore our best way is to secure our own quarters Bettee Come be of good chear but'let's not make more hast then good speed go fare and softly least jealousie cause suspicion and they seize on us before our time for these Blood-hounds will soon fcent enough by our discourse to put a stop to our further trading For if our secrets should discover'd be We know the worst a whipping sets us free FINIS
