I'll think no more on't, 'tis impossible: what's impossible? nothing's impossible to a Woman: we judge but on the outside of that Sex; and know not what they can, nor what they doe, more than they please to shew us. I have known Mrs. Sightly these seven years--known her! I mean, I have seen her, observed her, followed her: may be there's no knowing a Woman: but in all that time, I never found a freedom, that allowed me any encouragement beyond a friend--May be I have been wanting to my self--But then she would not throw her self away upon a common Lover; that's not probable: If she had been affectedly reserv'd, I wou'd suspect, the Devil in her heart had stampt the sign of Vertue in her looks, that she might cheat the world, and sin more close. But she is open in her carriage, easie, clear of those arts that have made Lust a Trade--Perhaps that openness may be design--'Tis easie to raise doubts--And still she may be--I won't think she can--till I know more: But Wittwoud is, I know her, every thing that's mischievous; abandon'd and undone; undone her self, she wou'd undo the Sex: she is to bawd for VVilding: I know her bad enough for any trade. But Bawds have some good Nature, and procure pleasure for pay: VVittwoud has baser ends, A general ruine upon all her friends.",,10063,"","""I wou'd suspect, the Devil in her heart had stampt the sign of Vertue in her looks, that she might cheat the world, and sin more close""","",2009-09-14 19:34:41 UTC,"Act III, scene i"

What a Fool is a fond Wench! Polly is most confoundedly bit.---I love the Sex. And a Man who loves Money, might as well be contented with one Guinea, as I with one Woman. The Town perhaps hath been as much oblig'd to me, for recruiting it with free-hearted Ladies, as to any Recruiting Officer in the Army. If it were not for us and the other Gentlemen of the Sword, Drury-Lane would be uninhabited.
AIR III.
Would you have a Young Virgin, &c.
If the Heart of a Man is deprest with Cares,
The Mist is dispell'd when a Woman appears;
Like the Notes of a Fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the Spirits, and charms our Ears,
Roses and Lillies her Cheeks disclose,
But her ripe Lips are more sweet than those.
Press her,
Caress her
With Blisses,
Her Kisses
Dissolve us in Pleasure, and soft Repose.

These fine things might ensnare a Heart disposed to Love, but you are sensible, Sir, I have already devoted mine to another Service.--You Men of Wit are general Lovers of the whole Sex, and think to try the Strength of every Lady's Resolutions at the small Expence of a Sonnet.--Come, Sir,--I know Poets and Knights Errant can never subsist without a Mistress--for Love is as well a Spur to Wit as Valour.--
