_Insatiate Strumpet; perjur’d-painted-Whore, Who hast the vice of all thy Sex, and more, Devil, nay worse; for thou canst by thy face Make Men Apostate in the State of Grace. By thee I fell; then did my_ Pagan _knee Oft render Worship to thy Devilree. I (being converted) Idols won’t allow; Down must the_ Dagon _of thy face I vow. See where it lyes; that Idol, once ador’d, Must be for want of it, by all abhor’d. Thy Husband lends an Ear, then let thy Nose, To_ Sister-Sense _her wretched State disclose. And then consult thy Glass; See thy fare face Is vanisht, and Deaths-head stands in the place. Thy lips some_ Nectar _sipt from I suppose Will be exclaim’d on, fogh, they want a Nose. And may thy sparkling eyes, which me did win, Be thought to kindle from a fire within. May ulcers seize thee, for the wrong th’ast done, And living rott, without compassion._ The rumour of this sad disaster ran swifter than a Torrent through the Town; insomuch that our house was so cram’d with People, that our servants were forc’d to acquit their imployments, to give room to the inquisitive In-comers, a chirurgeon was sent for to dress my Husband; & a Coroner to sit upon the other two that were slain; glad I was, that I had the opportune excuse to leave the Company; and attend my Husband; by which means I avoided the hearing so many thousand accrimations that were laid to my charge. In the meantime the Jury found their Deaths hapned by Man-slaughter: and so thereby though we were present, we could not be found accessories. The noise of this accident did also flye into the Countrey, not escapeing the ear hardly of any one Guest that frequented our House; report had rendred the Fact so horrible, and my Husband and Self so notoriously accessory thereunto, and now all our former wickedness, and roguery was drawn up in a long Scrol, and this last added in Capitals, to make up a compleat Sum of Villany. By which means we had little resort to our House; and our House-rent being great, and our Trading small, my Husband and I were now necessitated to put our heads together, by some other means to patch up a future lively-hood. Thou seest, said he, the more serious, and reputable sort of People, shun our house, as if old _Belzebub_ were there sitting abrood to hatch those diseases which should be the destruction of the Universe. And therefore to be revenged of their thus slighting us, I will meet them abroad, and what moneys they forbear to spend with me, I will compel them to lend, and more. Though I am not stout and resolute enough of my self to do this, yet thou knowest _Humphrey_ our Tapster, is a strong Fellow, and hath a good heart; he and I, fear not, will do the business.
