Rh * A dancing girl.
 * A female artisan.
 * A woman who has left her family.
 * A woman living on her beauty.
 * And, finally, a regular courtezan.

All the above kinds of courtezans are acquainted with various kinds of men, and should consider the ways of getting money from them, of pleasing them, of separating themselves from them, and of re-uniting with them. They should also take into consideration particular gains and losses, attendant gains and losses, and doubts in accordance with their several conditions.

Thus ends the consideration of courtezans.

There are also two verses on the subject as follows:

"Men want pleasure, while women want money, and therefore this Part, which treats of the means of gaining wealth, should be studied."

"There are some women who seek for love, and there are others who seek for money; for the former the ways of love are told in previous portions of this work, while the ways of getting money, as practiced by courtezans, are described in this Part."

END OF PART VI.
