Sir _Tim_. Yes, rich, and fair. _Sham_. Both, or she were not worthy of your Revenge. Sir _Tim_. Oh, how I love Revenge, that has a double Pleasure in it--and where--and where is this fine piece of Temptation? _Sham_. In being, Sir--but _Sharp_ here, and I, have been at some cost in finding her out. Sir _Tim_. Ye shall be overpaid--there's Gold, my little _Maquere_--but she's very handsom? _Sharp_. As a Goddess, Sir. Sir _Tim_. And art thou sure she will be leud? _Sharp_. Are we sure she's a Woman, Sir?--Sure, she's in her Teens, has Pride and Vanity--and two or three Sins more that I cou'd name, all which never fail to assist a Woman in Debauchery--But, Sir, there are certain People that belong to her, that must be consider'd too. Sir _Tim_. Stay, Sir, e'er I part with more Money, I'll be certain what returns 'twill make me--that is, I'll see the Wench, not to inform my self, how well I like her, for that I shall do, because she is new, and _Bellmour's_ Sister--but to find what possibility there is in gaining her.--I am us'd to these things, and can guess from a Look, or a Kiss, or a Touch of the Hand--but then I warrant, 'twill come to the knowledge of _Betty Flauntit_. |
