THE PIMPES PREROGATIVE Exactly and compendiously deciphered in a Dialogue between Pimp-Major Pig and Ancient Whiskin two most eminent men in that Faculty with their exultation at the downfall of Doctors Commons I feare no Summons From Doctors Commons I care not a Straw For the Baudy Law Pigg WHat Ancient Whiskin Your face prognosticates a good Term insuing you have sure gotten some new acquaintance I pray resolve me punctually Are there any handsome young Countrey Girles lately come to Town that you know of who have not too much of bashfulnes but are a little entred and partly exercised in their severall Postures and Motions whereby they may be fit to present to an inteligent Heyre of ample Revennues Whiskin Truly Seigneur Pigg my selfe am I confesse sufficiently experienc'd in the bréeding and bringing up of young Lasses gramercy good Venus and have béene as glad of such a purchase as St. Nicholas Clerks of a ponderous Purse yea and have paid soundly for 't too being cited to appeare before a Court of Ciuilians and thence indéed is the chiefe cause of my blith countenance to heare of the downfall of those Courts I meane the Doctors Commons my Bully-rooke that is it that elevates my Spirits in Quintoquillio to thinke upon Pigg Let me hugge thée for that newes kind Ancient But art thou sure thou speak'st nothing but truth Whisk Am I sure that thy face kéeps the old tincture still that never-fading dye that pure scarlet Nose of thine enami'ld with blew So sure what I tell thée is truth without exception Pigg This thy good newes is welcome to me and will be seconded with much mirth through all our Quarters There 's not a reverend Matron in all the Suburbs but for joy to heare of this News will make her Bottle ale flye like Chambers at the Bank-side on a Lord Majors day wée'l have this day registred in the Sister of the Scabberds Calender and annually kept Holiday Whisk We have good reason so to doe for those Baudy-Courts are such scarcrowes to our capering Trade that we have béene so troubled with the Sumners Apparitors Promooters Snap-dragons and Smel-smocks wée could not lye in our beds at quiet for them but we should have commendations from one spirituall Iudge or other Pig I and if they met not with us they would clap a Paper upon the Dore as if the house had béene infected or to be let I know not what a pore they call it I think a Quorum nomen or some such damnd name by this Charme we were forc'd presently to walk to the Consisting Court in Pauls or they would excommunicate us from the Church next Sunday Whisk Faith if they had knowne our devotion they would never have troubled themselves so far our chiefe trading is on Sundayes so they doe us a courtesie and we may stay away cum privilegio Pigg Tush their Excommunications fright not us but our Land-ladies poore soules lie in most danger for them they serve after with Excommunicato capiendo and then our Forts are beleaguer'd with Vnder-Sheriffs Bum-Bayliffs Shoulder-clappers c. whom we somtimes beat back by violence Whisk That happens but seldome Brother I am sure Madam Burley of Béech-lane was faine to compound and pay the Knaves Quartridge she durst aswell bide at home a whole Shrove-Tuesday as deny it Ther 's an old plump Divel cal'd Beelzebub haunts her often that Rogue will never be satisfied hee 'l devoure more Ale then a Legion of Whores as he termes them for love whereof he is since turn'd Brewer Pigg Dammée Brother Whiskin I was ever most troubled with your dapper Clarkes they 'l demand the best ware i' th house put their hands in their pockets nimbly and come upon us with an injungendo mandamus they feed high and are as hot as Goates to be satisfied I have kept the dore forthem at their Coitum and they pay me as a Vsurer do's a Noble-mans Porter with God a mercy Pig but somtime I help them to a ripe Medlar and within a wéek after they will catch a running Nag Whisk I but now wee may fit them for their swaggering and stand on our Pantofles this happy downfall of the Doctors Commons is as welcome news to our Regiment as a rich Fathers death to his Prodigall Sonne Pigg True Iack Whiskin now my golden dayes come in I intend to keep my foot-boy ere long my Revennues will quickly swell to a high pith not a Cockatrice shifts a smock without my privity nor opens her Shop without my licence O my conscience were I free of any Company I should within two years be cald upon for Sheriffe a scarlet gowne would be come me rarely Whisk I grant it and make thy habit with thy face sutable The very gilding of thy face cost more then any Broker will lend on 't yet 't is wonderfull rich one can scarce put a pins head betwixt a Rubie and a Pearle Pigg Faith Iack how rich so ere it be it nere cost me twopence I thank my Starrs I am respected by the bravest Boyes in Town they grace me with the name of Cousin I flesh and furnish with variety young Gallants whose stomacks can digest nothing but raw mutton and they fill my Fob for 't with their bounties and foxe my Nose at their owne proper charges I am now puveying for a Gent. a young Leveret therfore I must take leave and cannot stay Whisk Well go thy way Tom thou hast a priority of thy whole Profession I le have The destruction of Doctors Commons proclaim'd that the Lemmonds may trade with more security they will now keep open-house
