The fquire of dames,

John Ford's Fancy chaft and noble.
But you are

devoted to the fervice
Of gamefome ladies; the hidden mystery
Discover'd, their close bawd: thy flavish breath
Fanning the fires of luft; the goe-between
This female, and that wanton fir: your art
Can blind a jealous husband, and disguis'd
Like a milliner, or shoemaker, convey
A letter in a pantoofle, or glove
Without fufpicion; nay, at his table,

In a cafe of pick-tooths: you inftruct 'em how
To parley with their eyes, and make the temple
A mart of loofenefs. To discover all

Thy fubtile brokages, were to teach in publick
Those private practices, which are in justice
Severely to be punish'd.

Mafinger's Emperor of the East.

Pimps manage the great bus'nefs o'th' nation,
That is the heav'nly work of propagation !

Crown's Sir Courtly Nice. PARASIT E..

Ah, when the means are gone, that buy this praise,
The breath is gone whereof this praise is made!
Feaft-won, faft-loft: one cloud of winter-fhow'rs
Thefe flies are couch'd.
