Whores and Bawd's

ANSWER

TO THE

Fifteen Comforts

OF

WHORING

Printed in the Year, 1706.

The PREFACE.

Indeed we the Ladies of Pleasures, and those that stile themselvesProcurers in Love Affairs, highly resent the late Paper put outagainst our Profession and bespattering of us for using only our own;but since it is the Way of the World for most Men to be inclinable tolove Lac'd Mutton, I think it is their Duty to resent the Affront withus so much, as to Satyrize the Author of the Fifteen Comforts ofWhoring, who without is some young bashful Effeminate Fool oranother, that knows not how to say Boh to a Goose; or some oldsuffocated old Wretch so far pass'd his Labour, that he scolds forMadness that he cannot give a buxom young Lass her Benevolence; orelse he may an hundred to one be one of Captain Risby's Fraternity,and so must needs be a Woman Hater by Course. But let him be what hewill, so long as our Impudence is Case-harden'd we value not hisReflections, and therefore will not leave our Vocation tho' Claps andPoxes shou'd be our Portion every Day for according to an eminentWhore now Deceas'd,

Clap, clap ye Whores, Clap as Clap can,
Some Clap to Women, we'll Clap the Men.

Whores and Bawds, Answer, &c.

The first Comfort of Whoring, Answer'd.

Upon some jolly Lad she casts her Eye,
And with some am'rous Gestures by the by;
She gives him great Encouragement to take
His fill of Love, and swears that for his sake
She soon shall Die; which makes the Youth so hot
To get about the Maiden's Honey-pot,
That promising her Marriage and the like,
They both a Bargain very quickly Strike;
[*?] Rubbers often take till she does prove
With Child, then she bids adieu to Love;
And e're she's brought to Bed away does Creep,
For fear he should the Wenche's Urchin keep.

The Second Comfort of Whoring, Answer'd.

Now when a Maid has crackt her Maidenhead,
By being once or twice (Sir) brought to Bed,
Her Credit then's so broke that all her Wit,
And Policy cannot a Husband get;
But yet not being out of Heart she Cries,
From Marriage keeping I shall be more wise,
For if he's not a Fool he soon will find,
I had before I'd him to some been kind,
Then how he'd call me arrant Bitch and Whore,
And Swear some Stallion had been there before;
Then leave me, Wherefore I will single Live,
And my Invention to decoying give,
For as I was by fickle Man betray'd,
So Men by me too shall be Bubbles made,
Till
