_Thus still the Bawd tempts all she can to Sin,_
_And leaves them in the Lurch, when once they're in:_
_To heap up Gold, which she so much adores,_
_She makes Men Atheists, and makes Women Whores,_
_She lives by Sin; and if she can but gain,_
_She has her End, let those that list Complain._

_How the Goldsmiths Wife went to the Bawd, and gave her an Account how
she had serv'd her Treacherous Gallant; and how the Bawd related
several of her own Exploits, _&c_ In a short History of her Life._

About a week after poor Mr. _Bramble_ had been so miserably handled by the
Contrivance of the old Bawd, and the Splenetick and Vindictive Temper of
the Goldsmith's Wife; whereby she doubled on himself all the Design he had
of Cheating her: She thought upon the Promise she had made to the Old Bawd,
of giving her a Visit, and Enlarging her Gratuity: For she saw clearly now
her Words were True, and _Bramble_ made a full account to Cheat her, tho'

the old Bawd taking her up into her Dining-Room, told her, that she was
glad too see her in her poor Habitation. _O Mother_, says the
She-Goldsmith, _I found that Treacherous Villain the same false man you
represented him; and if I had'nt took your Counsel, my Honour had been
Ruin'd; for the insipid Sot told all that e'er had past between us to my
Husband; but thanks to my good Stars, & your sage Counsel, I clearly got
the Ascendant over him, for which I here present you with a farther
Testimony of my Gratuity._ The Bawd, (who met with such large Fees but
seldom) was so well pleas'd with her Ingenuous and generous Temper, that
she both thank'd her heartily for what she had presented her and told her
that if hereafter she cou'd by any means oblige her, she wou'd be sure to
do it: For I assure you, added she, that Trading now is very Dead, and I
have got but little C
