wou'd have him to the true Mrs. _Pierpoint_, from whom he engag'd he shou'd meet with better entertainment than he did from the Counterfeit one. _Thus still the Bawd does her old Game pursue;_ _Her End's the same, altho' her Method's New._ _Her Baits are various, which she still does suit_ _To ruin those that love forbidden Fruit._ _And by her Management of things we find,_ _She's one knows how to Sail with every Wind._ * * * * * CHAP.
