Orpheus or Imphions Lyre If with his treacherous Goddesse they surprize him Not all his allegories can disguise him His Tropes and Figures will alas not ayd him Vnlesse to hâ—r and these that have betray'd him He prostrate what hâ— very seldome wins Money't expiate his venerious sins Is it not a vast power these seeming sin-haters lay claime to and insooth did they aime at their makers glory to suppresse and erradicate those crying fin of Adultery and fornication we should have cause to prize them no lesse then Patriarchs and to afford them as much veneration as the sick brain'd Vulgarre dedicated to Trinmvirate of sedition that threefold cord of Schisme Prin Burton and Bastwick when they found Manumission in spight of the Bishops Mandates but we know that these fellows smell no more of vertue than a Poll-Cat of Musk as if Mintz were he alive should impeach Martin of sensuality or Rablais accuse Aretine and the Ovid of obscenity fellows whose fortunes are as broken as their fronts are brazen their manner of entrapping take thus from him who experimentally avows it Three or perhaps six of these Trap Pannians are given to know by their Mistresse in common that such a Knight such a Gentleman such a Citizen affects her and is solicitous to enjoy her he saith she hath been very beneficial As courteous a Cullee as ever Curtezan dandled our least of Taverne Reckonings is forty shillings or three pounds Mention but a paire of Gloves and a Gowne and Kirtle attends me or the losse of a Hand kercheife and twenty ells of Holland wait me This Loach has store of coine you know my meaning I will seemingly for I hate the fellows Person more than hel give my consent such a day and houre in such a place to meet the Beast with two backs at which time you three shall be absconded either under the bed in the closet or some other private place and when the Hot-spur begins the onfet I will let fall either my Busk or the Bed-staffe which may serve for your warning peice then rush upon us one of you as my husband and surprize us I shall not be angry to be call'd what I profess my selfe Whore nor blame the hand that bangs me since the compensation will prove ample enough bang him Coxcombly Cit say they it will be but Justice to draine hir purse or hang his person all things concluded on my Inamorate has his Mistresse grant to meet but first he solemnly swâ—urs not to divulge her for should her husband a man of an anstere and fiery temper but have the least â—ckling of their stollen imbracements they must both expect certain death either by his hands or the hangmans feace not my sweet answers he we will so carry it that no detriment shall happen either to thee or me and for this free favour thou shalt ever command me body and sou l the wish'd day on all hands now arrives the lover folds his Mâ—stâ—esse in his armes sporting so long at the brink that now he is resolved to leap in when oh fatall there appears his Ladies husband and two others with swords and pistolls who with death menacing brows threaten to dispatch them shee good soule on her knees with teares begsâ— her husbands mercy but he loading her with blows seemes as if nothing may appease him but blood while her poor amazed Lover esteeming this as a just judgement of God inflicted on him as an allay to his lust like a pâ—rfect Pâ—neteutlary implores his Ladies jealous Lord to spare him 〈◊〉 â—either spill his blood nor expose him to to shame in lieu of such love he will gratifie him with a good sum of 〈◊〉 but the angry husband remains refractory vowing to off 〈◊〉 both his wife and the â—dulterer on the altar of revenge the Law quoth he shall take place and therefore my trusty freind whom I shall ever honour for this aid let us convey this strumpeâ— and her Letcher to the next â—ustice upon this the surprized couple a fresh besetch which mâ—llifying the harts of her husbands freinds they earnestly request that he will not bring his wife to publick shame for say they consider it will redound to your disputagement and for the Gentleman we are confident of his sorrow fulnesse for his fault and therefore let us prevail with you accept of a sufficient sum and let

disease now grown that all the waming in the world no though they have been informed by those who have have bought the expetience at a dear rate can deter some from ventring upon this Praecipice but let us leave such fooles to their just deserved destiny and conclude with a Satyre directed to those fallacious females who draw men into such dangerous Praemunites Pox take ye all your qualities are much After your faces and your faith is such As are your workes fâ—r what is there in you That is not counterfeit and painted too Doe your lips ope before ye speak ye lye And if ye sigh ye lye most damnably False lights your eyes are and false weights your eares Your hearts false measures and false pearle your teares So talk or think or look or laugh or crie Seeme or seeme not walk stand or sit ye lye Nay there 's more yet your couzening of those Most who in you do most trust repose Your loving most those who do least love you And chusing to dye rather then be true Blush blush fond men and fair example take By those have been Trap-Pannian'd how you make An idoll of a face and tak 't for granted There 's no such Devill as a Whore that 's sainted She thinks her wit and beauty without Peere And ore thy slavish soul doth dommineere Like some great Goddesse counting thou wert bâ—â—â— As a thing mortall only for the scorn Curse on such Vassalage henceforth expresse Even in your loves Valour and Manlinesse S.H.
