Miss

[ 22 ]

Miss Br--wn, No. 8, _Castle-Street,

Newman-Street_.

Her every glance, like Jove's vindictive flame,

Shoot thro' the veins, and kindle all the frame.

A peculiar elegance in make and taste

in dressing distinguishes this daughter of

love; her shape is remarkably genteel,

and her figure good; she sings a good

song and is a chearful _bon_ companion;

her complexion is fair, her eyes, though

grey, exceedingly melting, and seem to

speak the disposition of the parts below

very forcibly, and if you would wish to

find a good bed-fellow, tho' not blest

with every other perfection, this lady

will perhaps suit her price, which is two

pounds two.

Mrs. T--rb--t, No 25, _Titchfield-Street_.

The glow of youth, the fire of wanton love,

Sport in her eye, and rouse the sensual heart

To strong desires unmanageable pitch.

So universally known, and so great a

fav'rite with the bucks is this lady, that

her desription is almost needless; her

eyes And hair are of the most inviting

darkness,

[ 23 ]

darkness, her temper and disposition

good, and her mind replete with the

choicest gifts of _Minerva_; her figure is

elegant, she is very tall, sings and dances

to perfection, and has only been in a

_public_ way of life twelve months; for a

single skirmish she does not refuse the

King's smallest picture, but for a whole

night's siege expects three of the largest.

Miss R--ch--rds--n, No. 2 _Bennett-

Street, Rathbone-Place_.

If women were as little as they are good,

A peas cod would make them a gown and a

hood.

A pretty, little, lively, fair complex-

ioned girl, with a dainty leg and foot,

and as pretty a pair of pouting bubbies

as ever went against a man's stomach,

and one who well deserves the attention

that is paid her by every man capable of

knowing her value. She is pleasing,

though fond, and can make wantonness

delightful; every part assists to bring on

the momomentary delirium, and then each

part combines to raise up the fallen mem-

ber, to contribute again to repeated

rapture; her price is commonly two gui-

neas,

[ 24 ]

but if a man is clever, she is very

ready to make some abatement.

Miss L--c--s, No. 1 _York-Street,

Queen-Ann-Street East_.

-----------Lilting o'er the lea,

Ye're welcomer to take me, than to let me be.

She is tall and fair, of a striking figure,

and amiable in conversation, perfectly

complying with the desires of her ena-

morato's: she is said, like the river

Nile, frequently to overflow, but some-

how or another her inundations differ

from those of that river, as they do not

produce foecundity, some skilful gar-

deners are of opinion that she drowns

the _seed_, which is the reason that it does

not take root. This, is a disagreeable

circumstance to those who may wish not

to till in vain; but to others who would

prefer the pleasure without the expensive

consequences, she is the more desirable,

as they are sure that all who bathe in her

_Castalian spring_, will be overwhelmed

with a flood of delight.

Mrs.

( 25 )

Mrs. Cr--sby, No, 24, _George Street,

over Black Fryars Bridge_.

Fast lock'd in her arms,

And enjoying her charms,

Every frown of old care I'll defy;

Give desire such a loose,

That the all potent _Juice_,

Shall pervade ev'ry sense, and swim in each

Eye.

Birmingham lays claim to the birth of

this daughter of love, and, under the

care and protection of an indulgent

father and mother, she reached her

fifteenth year " pure and unsullied;"

at this period nature began to be very

bay with Nancy, and a strong propen-

sity for seeing _Life_, compelled her to

leave her parents and enter into servitude,

and being particularly attached to the

sons of Neptune, she chose for her

master a sea captain, whose name she

still prefers to any other. A twelve

month had not elapsed in the captain's

service before our charmer's feelings had

reached their highest pitch, and the

captain, blest with a keen appetite, after

a six months voyage, with little persua-

sion, opened her _port hole_, cleared her

_gangway_, and threw her virtue _overboard_.

He

( 26 )

He grew strongly attached to her, and,

being a man rather advanced in years,

became contented and happy, nor

wished for any other but his dear Nancy.

She was his own, and he was all she at

that time wished or desired for; one or

two little prattlers were pledges of their

mutual regard, and till the day of the

captain's death they lived " the happy

pair." It is near two years since she

lost her friend, by whose death she

receives a little annuity, that will ever

keep her from the necessity of parading

the streets _merely_ for support, and you

are certain to meet with her at home at

almost any hour of the day; in the

evening the generally visits one of the

Theatres, and always sits in the side

boxes, in which place she contrives to

chuse her spark, and if possible to take

him home with her (for she never sleeps

out,) where he will meet with snug com-

fortable apartments, civility, good hu-

mour, and a very engaging partner,

whilst she continues good humoured; if

he uses any language or behaviour to

ruffle her temper, she can act the Virago

as well as most of her sex. She is rather

below mediocrity in size, with dark hair,

flowing in ringlets down her back,

languishing

( 27 )

languishing grey eyes, and a very toler-

able complexion, and a pair of pretty

little firm _bubbies_. Her leg and foot is

particularly graceful, always ornamented

with a white silk stocking, and a neat

shoe; she is a loving bed-fellow, and

sincerely _attaches_ herself to the enjoyment,

feels the thrilling sensation with poig-

nancy, and for one guinea will _enjoy_ you

as many times as you please.

N. B. She keeps the house, and you

must not mention to her a syllable con-

cerning her pretty lodger _above_, if you

wish to be calm _below_.

Miss Harriet J--n--s, _St. George's

Hotel, opposite Virginia Street, Wapping_.

For lips to lips, and Tongue to Tongue,

Will make a man of sixty young.

Yes, 'tis Harriet, the fair, still

blooming Harriet, whose eyes are

molded for the tender union of souls (let

them but borrow a little fire from

Bacchus) "by Heaven's, shoot Suns"

whose nectar-distilling lips pour sweetest

balm; whilst the soft silent lingual inter-

course shoots powerfully through all the

frame,

( 28 )

frame, and awakes each dormant sense.

When naked she is certainly Thomson's

Lavinia.

For loveliness,

Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,

But is, when unadorned, adorned the most.

A beautiful black fringe borders the

_Venetian Mount_, and whether she pursues

the _Grahamatic_ method from a practical

knowledge of its increase of pleasure,

from motives of cleanliness, or as a cer-

tain preventative we will not pretend to

say; but we well know it makes her the

more desirable bed-fellow, and after

every _stroke_ gives fresh _tone and vigour_ to

the lately _distended parts_; her legs and

feet claim her peculiar attention, nor do

their _coverings_ ever disgrace their owner,

nor their actions under _cover_ ever do

injustice to that dear delightful spot they

are doomed to support, protect, and pay

just obedience to; _the eager twine_, the

almost unbearable press at the _dye away

moment_, with all _love's_ lesser _Artillery_, she

plays off with uncommon activity and

ardor, and drinks _repetition_ with thirst

insatiable. Half a guinea, and a new

pink ribband to encircle her bewitching

brows, is the least she expects for a night's

entertainment.

( 29 )

entertainment. There are three or four

more ladies of _our_ order in the house, if

this lady should not exactly suit.

But being blest with beauty's potent spell,

Must from her other sisters bear the bell.

Miss W--lk--ns--n, No. 10, _Bull-and-

Mouth Street_.

Forbidding me to follow she invites me,

This is the mould of which I made the sex,

I gave them but one tongue to say us nay,

And two kind eyes to grant.

Here we present our readers with as

pretty a man's woman as ever the

bountiful hand of nature formed; a

pair of black eyes that dart resistless fire,

that speak a language frozen hearts

might thaw, and stand as the sweet index

to the soul; a pair of sweet pouting

lips that demand the burning kiss, and

never receives it without paying with

interest; a complexion that would charm

the eye of an anchorite; a skin smooth'

as monument alabaster, and white as

Alpian snow; and hair that so beauti-

fully contrasts the skin, that nought

but nature can equal. Descend a little

lower and behold the semi-snow-balls.

"Studded

( 30 )

"Studded with role buds, and streaked

with celestial blue,"

that want not the support of stays;

whose truly elastic state never suffers the

pressure, however severe, to remain, but

boldly recovers its tempting smoothness.

Next take a view of nature centrally;

no _folding lapel_, no _gaping orifice_, no

_horrid gulph_ is here, but the _loving lips_

tenderly kiss each other, and shelter

from the cold a small but easily stretched

passage, whose _depth_ none but the _blind

boy_ has liberty to _fathom_; between the

_tempting lips_ the _coral headed tip_ stands

centinal, sheltered by a _raven coloured-

bush_, and for one half guinea conduct

the _well erected friend_ safe into _port_.

She is a native of Oxfordshire, and has

been a visitor on the town about one

year, is generally to be met with at home

at every hour excepting ten at night, at

which time she visits a favourite gentle-

man of the Temple.
