rn to howl._
This Good-Woman's Death, was very welcome to her unkind Husband, who had
now no Body to controul him in his wicked Courses; but the Bawd the Whore
and himself had a merry Meeting the next day after she was buried; and
being well flushed with Wine, the Jilt thus began to Triumph:
_Whore._ Well now, my Dear, we shall be all at ease; and I am rid of them
that hated me: For my Part I am resolv'd to mourn in Sack; for now I need
not fear her Spies that us'd to be still harkening at the Door; that I
cou'd hardly let a Fart, but it was carryed to her straight by one or
other. Now she can hear us talk no more unless her Ghost walks, and I'll
venture that; Come, Drink to me, my Dear, I'll pledge it, tho 'twere o'er
her Grave: My Chuck! Thou'rt the best Friend I have: For all her spite, I

Day nor Night I ne'er refus'd thee all the Pleasures I could give thee. And

me now embrace thee in my Arms; nay never fear, here's none that will
disturb us--for she that us'd to make us both so cautious is now laid low

_Then come, my Dear, let Pleasure now delight us:_
_Th' old Hag is gone, & will no more affright-us._
_Bawd._ Why now it is as't shou'd be: Such a brisk Wench as this is, makes
young Blood boyl within your Veins again. Then what shou'd hinder you from
the enjoying of each other. For my part, tho' I'm past it, I love the Sport
still, and take pleasure in seeing others do it: And therefore while you
take a Touch together, I'll drink your Healths in good Canary here. I am
glad to see that you are both so brisk, and meet each other with such equal
