Whore.
But when I found the Beast of such a Breed,
I soldier turn'd, and with a Baw'd agreed
To let her out at half a Crown a Week
Who undertook she shou'd not be too seek;
For Custom, but said, she must for her pains,
From th' insatiate Whore have double Gains.
_The Sixth Comfort of Cuckoldom._
Finding my Wife by Whoring nothing get,
But to maintain her Sparks ran me in Debt;
