A COMEDIAN.
Had not these men been from their youth debauch'd,
With their hoar heads to day, they never could
Have guilty been of this flagitious crime—
Nor should we now have ventured to exhibit
This Comedy, had we not seen the like,
Done at the houses of procurers; where
Fathers have been the rivals of their sons.
Farewell, Spectators—Give a loud applause.

End of The Courtezans.
