"Among other of his Conquests, this Fellow had triumphed over the Heart of Betty Seagrim."

Among other of his Conquests, this Fellow had triumphed over the Heart of Betty Seagrim. He had made love to her long before Molly was grown to be a fit Object of that Pastime; but had afterwards deserted her, and applied to her Sister, with whom he had almost immediate Success. Now Will had, in reality, the sole Possession of Molly's Affection, while Jones andSquare were almost equally Sacrifices to her Interest, and to her Pride.
