er opportunity which might be full as
favourable. And so they parted.

The Spark was satisfied with the enjoyment of his Lady, and that Itch now
was Cur'd; he only wanted back his Ring, or else his fifty Guineas, that he
might demand it of her Husband; and now reflecting on his short liv'd
Pleasure, he truly judg'd that he had bought it at too dear a Rate, altho'
he should be only at the Five Guineas Charge he gave the Bawd.

But since the Goldsmith's being out of Town was such a Disappointed as
cou'd not be fore-seen, & yet had been extreamly serviceable to him in the
Enjoyment of his Mistress, he goes to the Old Bawd, and gives her an
Account of what had pass'd, and asks her further how he must proceed in
getting of his Ring again, without repaying of the Fifty Guineas? Give me
the other Fee, says the Old Jade, and I'll inform you; for I am like a
Lawyer, and don't know how to speak without a Fee. No, no, says he, I have
Feed enough before, nor would I give so much again, for all the Pleasure
her Enjoyment gave me.--The Bawd, (since she saw nothing more was to be got
by him) advises him to wait the Goldsmiths coming home, and then take a fit
opportunity to go to her alone, and to pretend he was just come to Town;
and to desire another Assignation from her, which being made, and you
having once more Enjoy'd her, stay till her Husband comes, and do as you
were first directed. And when you have got your Ring again, I hope you'll
then present me with two Guineas more.--No, not a Farthing more, says he,
you know I paid you very well before-hand: And so left her.

The Bawd perceiving nothing more was to be got from him, resolv'd she wou'd
be even with him, and take another Course to make a Penny of him: And
thereupon goes the next Morning to the Goldsmith's Shop, and asks the
Prentice if his Mistress was within; He answers, Yes, and she reply'd she
must needs speak with her, who coming down, the Bawd Whispers her in the
Ear, that she had something to acquaint her with, of great Importance to
her; which was not fit to be discours'd of Publickly: And thereupon the
Mistress ask'd her to walk up, and leading of her into a with-drawing Room,
desir'd her to sit down, and then intreated her to tell her Business; upon
which the Bawd began as followeth.

Madam.

_Altho' I am a Stranger to you, I doubt not but you will excuse the
rudeness of this Visit, when you shall know 'twas only the Concern I have
to see a lady of your Worth
