Stripping And Whipping On Stage

Abel recently came across this nifty bit of doggerel from a play apparently performed in London in 1733:

“While she is stripping to get a good whipping,
I’ll away, dance and play,
Yes I will, that I will;
While she is stripping to get a good whipping,
I’ll go and romp with the Girls and the Boys.”

He’s got all the details, but I was fascinated, upon following his link, to discover that this tidbit is sourced to the same 1877 Index Librorum Prohibitorum whence came this post.
