Part of Juvenal's Sixth Satire, Modernized in Burlesque Verse
But say you, if each private Family
Doth not produce a perfect Pamela;
Must ev'ry Female bear the Blame
Of one low private Strumpet's shame?
See then a dignify'd Example,
And take from higher Life a Sample;
How Horns have sprouted on Heads Royal,
And Harry's Wife hath been disloyal.
When she perceiv'd her Husband snoring,
Th' Imperial Strumpet went a Whoring:
Daring the private Rakes to solace,
She preferr'd Charles Street to the Palace:
Went with a single Maid of Honour,
And with a Capuchin upon her,
Which hid her black and lovely Hairs;
At Haywood's softly stole up Stairs:
There at Receipt of custom sitting,
She boldly call'd herself the Kitten;
Smil'd and pretended to be needy,
And ask'd Men to come down the Ready.
But when for Fear of Justice' Warrants,
The Bawd dismiss'd her Whores on Errands
She staid the last – then went, they say,
Unsatisfy'd, tho' tir'd, away.
– Juvenal (AD 50-127), as adapted and translated by Henry Fielding (1743)
