I expect him back every Minute. But you know, Sir, you sent
him as far as Hockley in the Hole for three of the Ladies, for one in
Vinegar-Yard, and for the rest of them somewhere about Lewkner's-
Lane. Sure some of them are below, for I hear the Bar-Bell. As they
come I will shew them up. Coming, Coming.
[Enter Mrs. Coaxer, Dolly Trull, Mrs. Vixen, Betty Doxy, Jenny Diver,
Mrs. Slammekin, Suky Tawdry, and Molly Brazen.]
MACHEATH. Dear Mrs. Coaxer, you are welcome. You look charmingly
to-day. I hope you don't want the Repairs of Quality, and lay on
Paint.--Dolly Trull! kiss me, you Slut; are you as amorous as ever,
Hussy? You are always so taken up with stealing Hearts, that you
don't allow yourself Time to steal any thing else.--Ah Dolly, thou
wilt ever be a Coquette! Mrs. Vixen, I'm yours, I always lov'd a
Woman of Wit and Spirit; they make charming Mistresses, but plaguy
Wives--Betty Doxy! Come hither, Hussy. Do you drink as hard as
ever? You had better stick to good wholesom Beer; for in troth,
Betty, Strong-Waters will in time ruin your Constitution.
