Vinegar-Yard, and for the rest of them somewhere about Lewkner's-
Lane. Sure some of them are below, for I hear the Bar-Bell. As they
come I will shew them up. Coming, Coming.

[Enter Mrs. Coaxer, Dolly Trull, Mrs. Vixen, Betty Doxy, Jenny Diver,
Mrs. Slammekin, Suky Tawdry, and Molly Brazen.]

MACHEATH. Dear Mrs. Coaxer, you are welcome. You look charmingly
to-day. I hope you don't want the Repairs of Quality, and lay on
Paint.--Dolly Trull! kiss me, you Slut; are you as amorous as ever,
Hussy? You are always so taken up with stealing Hearts, that you
don't allow yourself Time to steal any thing else.--Ah Dolly, thou
wilt ever be a Coquette! Mrs. Vixen, I'm yours, I always lov'd a
Woman of Wit and Spirit; they make charming Mistresses, but plaguy
Wives--Betty Doxy! Come hither, Hussy. Do you drink as hard as
ever? You had better stick to good wholesom Beer; for in troth,
Betty, Strong-Waters will in time ruin your Constitution. You should
leave those to your Betters.--What! and my pretty Jenny Diver too!
As prim and demure as ever! There is not any Prude, though ever so
high bred, hath a more sanctify'd Look, with a more mischievous
Heart. Ah! thou art a dear artful Hypocrite.--Mrs. Slammekin! as
careless and genteel as ever! all you fine Ladies, who know your own
Beauty, affect an Undress.--But see, here's Suky Tawdry come to
contradict what I was saying. Every thing she gets one way she lays
out upon her Back. Why, Suky, you must keep at least a Dozen
Tallymen. Molly Brazen! [She kisses him.] That's well done. I
love a free-hearted Wench. Thou hast a most agreeable Assurance,
Girl, and art as willing as a Turtle.--But hark! I hear Music. The
Harper is at the Door. If Music be the Food of Love, play on. Ere
you seat yourselves, Ladies, what think you of a Dance? Come in.
