Miss

( 106 )

Miss Nancy D--v--s, No. 31, _Wells-

street_.

Well pleas'd at the _frolic_, she laugh'd at the

pain,

And wish'd with more ardour, to try it again;

Which, when _handled_ and _dandled_, and made

fit for use,

She push'd with less pain, as the parts grew

more loose;

Then _upping_ and _downing_, kind nature told

how,

She cry'd over-raptur'd, it does not hurt now.

This was her confession to her dear Mr.

Wh--te, had she less partiality for him,

her friends in general would have a greater

partiality for her; she has a tolerable pretty

mouth, we wish we could pay her teeth

the same compliment; that mouth she

thinks serves as an index to its _cousin be-

low_; to be sure she has learned the wrig-

ling part of pleasing, and would willing-

lY make her gentlemen believe, when in

the _heat_ of the engagement,' that he is

giving her pain; but however large the

_premises_ may be, she certainly has attained

a very pleasing method of _contracting them_,

never meeting with one she could not per-

fectly well accommodate, from an infant

shoe

( 107 )

shoe to a _jack_ boot. She is of the mid-

dling size, with dark hair and eyes; re-

tains a good complexion without the

assistance of rouge or pearl powder; is

very lively and chearful, and as a conver-

sation piece only, would make the time

pass away agreeable enough, being chear-

ful and good humoured, with a pleasant

smile upon her countenance; will drink

a chearful glass to George the third with

pleasure, and whilst she has the glass in

one hand, has no objection to see his

picture in the other; but sooner than her

dear man should want, she would retail her

charms at five shillings an hour all day

long.

___________________________________

Miss K--lp--n.

Those formal lovers be for ever curst,

Who fetter'd free-born love with honour first;

Who through fantastic laws, are virtue's fools,

And against nature, will be slaves to rules.

We cannot pretend to say where this

curious oddity lives, that being a cir-

cumstance she carefully conceals; and

what is more extraordinary, she never

can be prevailed on to go into taverns or

other houses with a gentleman. To

what

( 108)

what purpose then (some reader may say)

is she inserted here, if she will not go

into a house to dispense her favors, nor

is it known where she is to be found? A

little patience, good sir, and you will be

informed where she is to be found, and

how to procure her favours. If you

walk on the right hand side of the way,

from the corner of Cheapside along St.

Paul's Church-Yard, and thence to the

bottom of Ludgate-Hill, just after sun-

set, and meet with a beautiful woman

about twenty, tall and finely shaped,

with fine black eyes, and hair of the same

hue, that floats in curls down her back,

and worn without powder, and a be-

witching dimple in each cheek, you may

give a shrewd guess you have found Miss

K--lp--n. Her dress is in general silk,

sometimes a pale blue, but oftener a

black, and a large white sattin cloak,

trimmed and lined with rich brown fur;

her head is in general bedecked with a

blue beaver, with a profusion of white

feathers; and if on accosting her, you

are as much dazzled with her wit, her

smart repartees, and her delicate agree-

able raillery, as with her person and

dress, you may be then absolutely certain

it is the lady.----But you may say, when

found,

( 109 )

found, of what service is it, when she

will neither take you home with her,

nor go into any house With you? A little

more patience, sir, if you plase, though

she refuses to go into any _house_ with you,

are there not hackney coaches on every

stand? we have not said she will deny

entering one of them with you; that is

if she likes your person and conversation.

And here let us add, no frothy coxcomb,

no male adonis, conceited of his own

dear person, no shoe stringed effeminate

puppy, no insipid empty chatterer, can

hope to succeed with her.

If, reader, thou art neither of these,

and should meet with, and please Miss

K--p--n, she will take as length'ned

a ride with you as you please; and if

you have the prudence to draw up

the blinds, she Will be as free as you please,

and you may enjoy her charms, _Jehu_ like,

as long as you can. She is framed for

love, and will melt like a snow ball in the

sun. She will embrace you with un-

feigned rapture, open _all_ her charms to

receive your manly tribute, and perhaps

appoint another meeting.

We have rather enlarged on this lady,

on account of the singularity of her dis-

position; and what will add to your won-

der

( 110 )

der is, that she never will receive any

money, but take the offer as an affront.

These circumstances make us conclude

that K--lp--n, the name she has assumed

sometimes, is not her real name, and

that she is not a woman of the town, but

some married city lady, who takes this

method of getting home deficiencies sup-

plied abroad, and, as she is cautious of

her character, uses these precautions.

By not going to any house, she avoids

detection; by chusing none but those

whose conversation is congenial to her

own, she obliges none but men of sense

and honour; and by he constantly re-

fusing money, she demonstrates that love

for love is her motto; that her love of

the sport is her motive; perhaps she

may have another reason for chusing a

leathern conveniency as the scene of her

delights. We have been told that the

undulating motion of the coach, with

the pretty little occasional jolts, con-

tribute greatly to enhance the pleasure

of the critical moment, if all matters are

rightly placed. This she may have ex-

perienced, and therefore as pleasure is

her search, no wonder she prefers every

delicate addition to the gross sum.

Emma,

( 111 )

Emma, _at Mother Gray's, No. 30,

Market-Lane, near the Opera House_.

In the middle of me,

You plainly may see,

A thing that will suit every man;

And when you are in it,

The critical minute,

Ensure as fast as you can.

A young tit of Mother Gr--y's own

procuring, and that our reader should

not mistake the old abbess, we will give

a short description of her. If you chance

to visit her in the morning, the smell of

yellow usquebaugh will salute your nos-

trils, of which she takes copious draughts

before breakfast. In all her actions she

shews the lewdness of a monkey, and

the letchery of a goat; she has lately

been _fired_ by P----, the French fri-

zeur, but knowing the use of murcury,

she applied it in such a manner that she

procured an effectual salivation, and

enabled her to take into her house the

fame squinting gentleman that present

acts as her _fine man_; she boasts of her

knowledge of great men, and there is

scarce a lord or duke in the land that

has not been her _cull_.

We

( 112 )

We can but pity our little girl in

question for being so unhappily situated;

she is a charming sprightly lass, and so

fond of kissing, and so perfect a mistress

in the art, that she will frequently force

nature to a dissolving pitch, before the

_right parts_ come in proper contract; her

liveliness of disposition, and activity in

the sports of Venus, make her so desi-

rable a bed-fellow, that her magic _ring_

is as much sought after as the philoso-

pher's stone; has good hair and teeth, a

plump round, firm breast, and confined

merely as an object to sensual desire, pos-

sesses every qualification a sensualift can

desire. She is to be met with every

night at Sterling's, and being newly come

on to the town, and possessing too much

innocence, as well as ignorance, to fight

the world as she ought, she is frequently

bilked; but this there is no doubt she

will soon get the better off, particularly

if she follows the precepts and advice of

the old lady she lives with.

Miss

( 113 )

Miss Phoebe B--rn, No. 5, _Eagle-

street, Red Lion Square_.

Behold her round the vine, in loose attire,

Her panting bosom thrills with soft desire,

Which white and firm invites the amorous hand,

And never fails to make the member stand;

Then to her couch she'll lead the conquered

boy,

Who in her feels a tickling pinching joy.

Bishopsgate-street is the place that gave

birth to this volatile charmer; her father

moved in the sphere of a hackney-coach-

man, and reared this daughter of Venus

with no small care, till she attained her

sixteenth year, at which period, a young

man about twenty wooed her, and she did

not repulse him; but found his embraces

so agreeable, that she soon wished for

food more substantial than kisses; but

then the thought of sacrificing her cha-

racter to her pleasure was a bar not easily

surmounted, but nature called so loud

for its favorite _choak pear_, that she resolved

to throw herself into the arms of the

vigorous youth, and for the first time

suck

( 114 )

suck the juice of the enchanting fruit;

a few promises and vows of his, fully

preponderated all her maiden niceties,

and she soon yielded to the giddy im-

pulse of her passion;

She did not stay for marriage, that stale

trick,

But lost her reputation for a----;

but the cruel laceration that this first

attack was productive of, obliged her to

confine herself to her bed two days, and

led her parents to the discovery of their

daughter's shame, which so highly in-

censed them, that they abandoned her to

the world at large; and from this aera

we may date her entrance into life. The

_Kite_, in _Catherine-street_, first _swooped_ upon

her, and carried her to the _nest_ as a fine

prey, and she was not mistaken; she

proved such, and for six months never

was in want of _culls_; at the end of this

time ihe deserted the mother abbess,

took apartments in Glanville-street, and

traded on her own _bottom_, where she

figured away with tolerable grace for

three months, and then removed to her

prefent situation. She is diminitive in

size,

( 115 )

size, with fine black eyes, large firm, and

full breasts, a handsome mouth, pretty

curling brown ringlets, and delicate lit-

tle hands; a very pretty leg and foot,

which is at all times ready to divide and

_house_ its old friend, at the very low price

of one ounce of silver.

street, Soho_.

----------The self same cates

Still offer'd, soon the appetite offend;

The most delicious soonest.

How happy would it be for the author

of this anniversary publication, could he

procure a friend to new christen the fea-

tures, that the reader might with less fa-

tigue go through this heap of tautology,

but as that end is not yet accomplished,

we must steer according to the old line,

An eye must still be an eye, and a tooth a tooth;

both of which our young Venus, who has

just reached her seventeenth year, pos-

sesses in a superlative degree. She strong-

ly points to your imagination a casket of

orient

( 116 )

orient pearls, the former of two living dia-

monds, whose language so forcibly invite

thq blind boy to the happy cloyster, that

there is seldom many fleeting moments

before an almost involuntary attack must

be made. Her heaving breasts foretell

the _Coming_ joy; the _liquid eye_ declares it

nearer still; the _interrupted sigh_, the sud-

den _gush_, if premature and _involuntary twist_

of the limbs speaks a _flowing_ of the _tide_,

and the critical oh! bids the silly pen

defiance to express. She is of a good size,

and well form'd, of a lively and sweet

disposition, has been but a short time in

life, and has beautiful dark hair;

Her eye brows arch'd, and rather full than

thin,

To shade the dazzling light that dwells within.

She has met with many admirers but

showing lately too great a partiality for

the gentleman whose name she assumes,

( a horse jockey) she has lately sunk a

little in the world; his late inconstancy,

however, has wrought so powerfully upon

her, that she is now soliciting the fa-

vours and support of her old friends; she

is of a good size, and well made, of a

lively and sweet disposition, loves a glass

of Madeira, but never takes a glass in

one

( 117 )

one hand without having prudence in

the other, and is particularly careful that

the effects of Bacchus shall not prevent

the more sensible joys, of Venus. Two

pounds two shillings is her price to stran-

gers, but if a very old and good, acquain-

tance, she will not refuse half the sum.

Miss Cl--rk, No. 116, _Wardour-street_.

If any wench Venus's girdle wears,

Altho' she be ever so ugly,

Roses and lilys will quickly appear,

And her face look wond'rous smugly.

In some respeCt Miss C---- verifies

this remark of Mr. Gay, for very little

else than her wearing Venus's girdle can

invite any to admire so plain a counte-

nance; she is tall and lusty, with dark

hair and eyes, a very indifferent set of

teeth, and a very flat face; she is now

twenty-five, has followed the trade some

years, and never refuses any sum scarce

that is offered her.
