THE Whores and Bawds, Answer, &c. The first Comfort of Whoring, Answer'd. No sooner does a Maid arrive to Years,And she the Pleasures of Conjunction hears,But strait her Maidenhead a Tip-toe runs,To get her like, in Daughters or in Sons;Upon some jolly Lad she casts her Eye,And with some am'rous Gestures by the by;She gives him great Encouragement to takeHis fill of Love, and swears that for his sakeShe soon shall Die; which makes the Youth so hotTo get about the Maiden's Honey-pot,That promising her Marriage and the like,They both a Bargain very quickly Strike;[*?] Rubbers often take till she does proveWith Child, then she bids adieu to Love;And e're she's brought to Bed away does Creep,For fear he should the Wenche's Urchin keep. The Second Comfort of Whoring, Answer'd. Now when a Maid has crackt her Maidenhead,By being once or twice (Sir) brought to Bed,Her Credit then's so broke that all her Wit,And Policy cannot a Husband get;But yet not being out of Heart she Cries,From Marriage keeping I shall be more wise,For if he's not a Fool he soon will find,I had before I'd him to some been kind,Then how he'd call me arrant Bitch and Whore,And Swear some Stallion had been there before;Then leave me, Wherefore I will single Live,And my Invention to decoying give,For as I was by fickle Man betray'd,So Men by me too shall be Bubbles made,Till the dull Sots clandestine Means do take,In robbing Masters,for a Strumpets sake,For which if they shou'd at the Gallows Swing,Their End I'd in some merry Ditty Sing.

The fourth Comfort of Whoring answer'd. Tho' Buboes, Nodes and Ulcers are the Marks,Of many a wanton Beau and am'rous SparksAnd many a lustful Lecher oft complainsOf restless Days and damn'd nocturnal Pains,Nays go into a Flux o dozen Weeks,Is't not the Man himself these Sorrow seeks?Besides, how often see you go astrideA Miss, as if she was with Packthread ty'd;Who's Poxt and Clapt as much as you can be,And undergoes a deal of Misery,To give your wanton Appetites content,[*?] feeding you with Flesh, altho' in Lent:Therefore as the old Woman very TartOnce said, when against Thunder she did Fart,'Twas only tit for tat, so if the MenDo clap the Whores, and Whores Claps them agen,Tis only tit for tat; tis very true,What's good for Goose is good for Gander too.
