Quotes from The whore (Unknown)
“ No pitying eye beholds the hapless fair,She’s left to Death, Diseases, and Despair!Nature cries out, and hunger must be fed,She now must turn a prostitute for bread;Her name is blasted, friendless left, and poor,Tell me what can she do?—why be a WHORE.Lew’d scenes, and lew’d discourse, comes next in play ”
“ Love fill’d her thoughts—and that was all that ail’d. Again the pious Abbess strove, in vain,Her wicked wants and wishes to explain;Bid her take pattern by her sister Prue,Who was to holy exercises true;Who ne’er at morn. or evening pray’r, was foundTo cast one carnal eye or thought around? ”
