He Shew'd Her All The Treasure
He Was Possess'd Of, As Beads, Red Cadis, &C. Which She Lik'd Very Well,
And permitted him to put them into his Pocket again, endearing him
with all the Charms, which one of a
Better Education than Dame Nature
had bestow'd upon her, could have made use of, to render her Consort
a surer Captive. After they had us'd this Sort of Courtship a small time,
the Match was confirm'd by both Parties, with the Approbation
of as many Indian Women, as came to the House, to celebrate
our Winchester-Wedding. Every one of the Bride-Maids were as great Whores,
as Mrs. Bride, tho' not quite so handsome. Our happy Couple
went to Bed together before us all, and with as little Blushing,
as if they had been Man and Wife for 7 Years. The rest of the Company
being weary with travelling, had more Mind to take their Rest,
than add more Weddings to that hopeful one already consummated;
so that tho' the other Virgins offer'd their Service to us,
we gave them their Answer, and went to sleep. About an Hour before day,
I awak'd, and saw somebody walking up and down the Room
in a seemingly deep Melancholy. I call'd out to know who it was,
and it prov'd to be Mr. Bridegroom, who in less than 12 Hours, was Batchelor,
Husband, and Widdower, his dear Spouse having pick'd his Pocket of the Beads,
Cadis, and what else should have gratified the Indians
for the Victuals we receiv'd of them.
