Edward Marston
The Mad Courtesan

I am a profest Courtezan

That lives by people’s Sinne.

With half a dozen Punckes I keepe

I have greate coming-in

— SAMUEL ROWLANDS: The Courtezan (1590)

If, as their ends, their fruits were so the same,

Bawdry and usury were one kind of game.

— BEN JONSON: On Bawds and Usurers
