Epithalamica

sixth: they have children born and estates in all: and they want to marry again
in each. A pretty number of instances to ring changes upon!

Understand all this which, that I know perfectly well as I was telling Wilson,
that this is a great Jack Whore you have got, and that all my nephews
and nieces instead of growing now & then upright with only a little of the Bentham
stoop, will be all -offs and wisky's and go constantly upon all
fours: for Capper tells me no Russian female ever could remember the
time of her having her maidenhead. I have accordingly promised Wilson
a parcel of the tickets which I am going to get engraved with her
picture taken from the best dancer I can find in London, and under
it "Admitt the bearer and his friends". And when you send over to
portion of the shift according to the Russian etiquette
for to offer to palm off upon us and particularly upon such a Chemist
as myself, a parcel of Hog's blood or blood made a la mode
de St Januarius, but hold a bottle for the blood that comes from the
next more-bleeding produced by the next "prohibition".

Now you talk of whores, Jones is dead & Miss is come back & lives with
her father and mother. La Folle and they however do not visit. What
could you do about La Folle? Unless Orsina were in good earnest what
I have been telling you she is out of compliment, I never could bear
any wife of your's should be two minutes alone with that cursed woman
or her equally impudent daughter. Our single pissing-bout with either
of them would be sufficient to wash away all her delicacy. The
young one met me once on the staircase in her shift without her a black:
discussed with me the choice of the parts it was to cover: and
the mother who was within hearing though not within sight, thought it
a good joke. Poor thing! (I mean your Orsina) I can not help thinking
of her by the hour together, as I can conceive a man to think of a girl
that his wife has just been brought to bed of.

You rogue you, what a deal of life of one sort or other, good
and bad together, have you seen at your age, which I have been but
vegetating!

Oh, I'll tell you how I will manage La Folle: I will tell her you
are afraid of seeing her, for fear of &c again: after which you would never be able
to endure your wife. She told me once, you yourself said to her that would be
the case: and whether you ever said so or no, and whether you thought so or
no when you said it, she will make no difficulty of believing it as true as the
gospel to the world's end. Queen Elizabeth used to act & hear tag rag & bobtail talk in streams if
rapture of her beauty when turned of seventy.
