[A Knave and Whore of modesty bereft]

A Knave and Whore of modesty bereft,
Being at that Sport which will ne're be left,
Against a Gate, in a place very wide,
Was question'd of a friend, by whom they were 'spi'd,
Why he would deal with such a dirty Slut
In a wide field, against a Gate too? but
The other made reply, pray do not prate,
The Slut is good enough to prop-a-gate.
