Excerpt from Herr Paulus, Vol. 2 of 3: His Rise, His Greatness and His Fall Captain Macheath, by the roystering blades Of London Town, by the sparks from the Temple and Gray's Inn, by grave citizens who brought their wives and daughters for an evening of innocent amusement, and by riotous young noblemen who came with Cynthia and Chloe. At the back of the church was the workhouse, whither, in due course, Cynthia and Chloe retreated, a good deal battered by the Joyous Life and South Of the workhouse lay the great burying ground, oldest of the London cemeteries, which is now a garden. Cynthia and Chloe both lie buried here without any tombstones. Oh The tales that these houses could tell the nights they remember when the horns resounded in the gardens, and when the men sang at their suppers, and Kitty, and Jenny, and Polly pranced around with their gallants, and the highv'vaymen swaggered within, and the footpad lurked without, and the gamester and the pluck-pigeon prowled about in search Of' their prey. But their historiettes would be more amusing than edifying. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
