As we were going out of the Garden, my old Friend, thinking himself obliged, as a Member of the Quorum, to animadvert upon the Morals of the Place, told the Mistress of the House, who sat at the Bar, That he should be a better Customer to her Garden, if there were more Nightingales, and fewer Strumpets.

Binde the coy strumpet; she dyes, too.

Mistress Flirtyea, foul strumpet, Light-a-love, short-heels!

Incestuous strumpet, cease.

poet, dramatist, intriguant strumpet!

I leaned and loitered a long time on the bridge, gazing up to the craggy height, which is heavy with waving wood, and crowned by the Castle-tower, the Tees sweeping round the mountain-base, smooth here and sunlit, but a mile down, where I wished to go, but would not, brawling bedraggled and lacerated, like a sweet strumpet, all shallow among rocks under reaches of shadowthe shadow of Rokeby Woods.

Never shall noble knee bend to this ground, As long as that vile strumpet liveth crownd.

Away, bold strumpet.

She's, then, a villanous strumpet so to write, And you an asse, a coxcomb to beleeve it.
