the Money to my Banker’s; for in all my Life, in all my Frolicks, Encounters and Extravagances, I never had one so grateful, and so pleasant as this will be, if you are in earnest, to gratify both my Love and Revenge! That I am in earnest, you will not doubt, when you see with what Application I shall pursue my Design: In the mean Time, _My Duty to your Majesty; To our good Success in this Affair_. While he drank, t’other return’d, _With all my Heart_; and pledg’d him. Then _Friendly_ began afresh: Leave the whole Management of this to me; only one thing more I think necessary, that you make a Present of five hundred Guineas to her Majesty, the Bride that must be. By all means (return’d the wealthy King of _Bantam_;) I had so design’d before. Well, Sir (said Sir _Philip_) what think you of a set Party or two at _Piquet_, to pass away a few Hours, till we can sleep? A seasonable and welcome Proposition (returned the King;) but I won’t play above twenty Guineas the Game, and forty the Lurch. Agreed (said _Friendly_;) first call in your Servant; mine is here already. The Slave came in, and they began, with unequal Fortune at first; for the Knight had lost a hundred Guineas to Majesty, which he paid in Specie; and then propos’d fifty Guineas the Game, and a hundred the Lurch. To which t’other consented; and without winning more than three Games, and those not together, made shift to get three thousand two hundred Guineas in debt to Sir _Philip_; for which Majesty was pleas’d to give him Bond, whether _Friendly_ would or no, _Seal’d and deliver’d in the Presence of_, The Mark of (_W._) _Will. Watchful_. And, (_S_) _Sim. Slyboots_. A couple of delicate Beagles, their mighty Attendants.
