<h2>MUMPERS</h2>
|
|
<p>genteel Beggars, who

|
will not accept of Victuals, but of
|
|
Money or Cloaths. The <i>Male Mumper</i>

|
him, and a Cap on his Head, pretending
|
|
to be a decayed Tradesman, who having
|
|
been a long Time sick, hath spent
|
|
all his remaining Stock, ans is so weak
|
|
he cannot work. At other times he
|
|
appears like a decayed Gentleman, who,
|
|
especially since the fatal <i>South Sea
|
|
Scheme</i>, has been undine, and reduced
|
|
to the Necessity of imploring good People's Charity.</p>

knock at the Door of a House, and desire
|
|
to speak with the Mistress, and

|
after apologizing for her Boldness, she
|
|
acquaints her how urgent her Necessity
|
|
is: That she has a Husband and two
|
|
small Children lying at the Point of
|
|
Death: That she was a Gentlewoman
|
|
born; but marrying against her Friends
|
|
Consent, was by them disowned, and
|
|
so by her Husbands Sickness, is reduced
|
|
to this miserable Condition. Sometimes
|
|
she appears big with Child, and
|
|
begs Cloaths or Linnen to make Clouts
|
|
of. The Word <i>Mumper</i> is now generally
|
|
used to denote all sorts of Beggars.</p>
