to Town, which you expect every day, you'll pay him
again. This is a kindness he won't deny you, because he runs no hazzard in
it, and thereby he obliges a Customer. When you have got these fifty
Guineas, take the first opportunity to discourse your Mistress; if you find
she'll do't for Love, your Money's sav'd, and you have nothing else to do
but enjoy her: But if the Jade be mercenary, as I dare say she is, you must
tempt her with Gold; and that you may be sure to make her bite, give her
the fifty Guineas that you borrow'd of her Husband.--A Pox take ye, for an
Old Bitch, says he, in a kind of Passion; is this the way to bring me off
for nothing?--You are too hasty still, replyes the Bawd; let me have done
first, and then talk your Pleasure: Do, as I say; give her the fifty
Guineas; and when you have enjoy'd her stay with her, either in the
Chamber, or the Shop, until her Husband does come in: And when you see him,
tell him you have receiv'd the Bill that you expected, and have brought the
fifty Guineas that you borrow'd of him, and paid it to his Wife; and so
desire him to let you have your Ring again. His Wife (to save her Honour)
can do no less than own she has receiv'd the Money; and so her Husband must
restore your Ring. And then do you be judge whether or no you don't come
off for nothing. Well, thee'rt a dear sweet Rogue for this Contrivance,
says he, and I could almost kiss thee, but that thy Mouth's so strongly
guarded by thy Nose and Chin, that there's no coming at it: I like thy Plot
extreamly well; and I'll go presently and put it in Execution.

Away goes the Fop, as well pleas'd to think he shou'd put a Trick on his
Mistress as he shou'd enioy her, which for the Lucre of the Fifty Guinea's
he no longer question'd. And coming to the Goldsmith's Shop, he pulls his
Ring off of his Finger, and asks him what he'll give him for't: The
Goldsmith having look'd upon it, told him he'd give him Seventy Guineas for
it. It cost me more than Eighty, says the Beau, but I won't part with it;
only because I'm short of Money, being disappointed of a Bill that I
expected to receive, I must desire the kindness of you to let me have fifty
Guineas on it till I receive my Bill, which will be in a Fortnight or three
Weeks time at farthest; and I'll allow you what you shall think reasonable
for it. The Goldsmith very readily gives him the fifty Guineas be desir'd,
and takes his Ring as a Security. And so taking his leave, goes home
