Relieved from hard labor because of poor health, Moll lies dying of syphilis as two doctors compete to empty her purse and her landlady ransacks her trunk. Already shrouded for warmth, the harlot gives up the ghost as her attendant attempts to stop the uproar and her son, possibly syphilitic as well, itches at the lice in his hair.
