Catéchisme de l'amour:
What are the objects of that passion?
Youth, beauty, and clean linen. (Farquhar, The Beaux Stratagem.)
As I am a gentleman, a man of the town, one that wears good clothes, eats, drinks, and wenches sufficiently. (Dryden, Mock Astrologer.)
The first thing that I would do, should be to lie with her chambermaid, and hire three or four wenches of the neighbourhood to report that I have got them with child.
I never quarrel with anything in my cups, but an oysterwench, or a cookmaid; and if they be not civil, I knock them down.
[145]: You should have just so much disgust for your husband as may be sufficient to make you relish your lover. (Congreve, The Way of the World, acte II, scene iv.)
