 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 201. Against Mall. New. the Curtezan.
Nais , Minthe, Metra, Phrine, Messalina,Abrotonion, Lenæa, Affranea, Laurentia,
Citheris, Chione, and lasciuious, Licaste,
Make a Bakers dozen, vvith Astinasse.
All these were whoores, as I in Authors finde;
The Sinkes of Shame, and Staines of woman-kinde,
Yet for a whoore they all may come behinde
Mall Nevv, oh peace, least I be beaten blinde.
