Miss

( 118 )

Miss W--ls--n, No 1, _Little-court,

Castle-street, Leicester fields_.

'

Nature for meat and drink provides a place,

And when receiv'd they fill their certain space;

Hence _thirst_ and _hunger_ may be satisfy'd,

But this repletion is to love deny'd.

This pretty piece of animation wants

not the aid of art to make her shine one

of the most conspicuous in the list of tra-

ding nymphs; altho' she cannot be called

very handsome, still she is a fine girl,

and nature has sufficiently furnish'd her

with those beauties the nicest hand of

art would only deface. Her want of

pride (which is in this age a very rare

perfection) sets off to superior advantage

every feature; her goodness of temper

and disposition acts as a security to her

most valuable acquaintance, and her just-

ness of principle gains her the esteem of

all who have the happiness of knowing

her. She is the daughter of a gentleman

who holds a considerable place under

government, has had a genteel education,

and seems quite untainted with the vices

of the town; her great attachment to Mr.

J----n, of the theatre, is a bar to her see-

ing much company; with them that has

the good fortune to sleep with her, will find

she

( 119 )

she still enjoys the pleasure without the

least satiety; no licenc'd fair during the

honey moon can charm with more rapture,

or feel the poignant bliss with more ex-

tacy; every inviting motion is us'd, every

limb employ'd, to make the dying tran-

sports meet. Her own home is the place

where she in general sees her company, and

every visitor that passes the night in her

arms, she expects will make her two

guineas richer.

Mrs. Eliza W--bst--r, No. 13, _John-

Street, Yottenham Court Road_.

Fancy itself, e'en in enjoyment, is

But a dumb judge, and cannot tell its bliss.

Mrs. W--bst--r is the daughter of a

gentleman, deceased, has received a good

education, which she improves by an

excellent natural understanding; her age

is twenty-one, her figure tall, and every

limb elegantly proportioned; she pos-

sesses an agreeable face, but we will not

flatter her by calling it a pretty one, be-

ing too thinly formed to constitute beau-

ty, and too much pitted with the small

pox to be stiled handsome; still she

commands

( 120 )

commands a beautiful pair of dark eyes,

which give a most pleasing, amorous

expression to her whole countenance, and

makes her, tho' not a pretty, still a very

desirable girl; she possesses a lively and

entertaining manner, with an affable dis-

position, and refined, delicate sentiments,

which has lately been much been abused

by the brutality of her late keeper, Mr.

K--d, well known at Garraway's cof-

fee house, for the lowness of his birth,

and still greater meanness of his senti-

ments. He was some time since a corn-

factor, but has now relinquished that,

and nOw all his business, delight, and

employment, seems to be that of perse-

cuting Mrs. W----. In the course of

last summer he arrested her for the pal-

try sum a of twenty-five pounds, which,

from the natural consequences of not

paying immediately, amounted to sixty

pounds, and upwards. Indeed, could

the Whole conduct of this old r--l be

summed up, it would be impossible to

describe his cruelty to Mrs. W. which

proceeds merely from his resolution not

to live with a wretch, whose cruelty,

and her own disposition, obliges her to

despise. It is from such kind of usage

as this that has taught Mrs. W. prudence

and

[ 121 ]

and discretion in all her engagements

with the men, nor will she ever admit a

visitor to take any liberties, without first

knowing the value he fits on her com-

pany; and from the appearance which

her present keeper enables her to make,

she expects to be something consider-

able.

Mrs. Sp--nc--r, No. 35, _Newman-

Street, Oxford-Road_.

Wine whets the wit, improves its native force,

And gives a pleasant flavour to discourse.

This is fully verified in Mrs. S. who

is never so good a companion as when a

_little_ enlivened with the juice of the grape

but, always guided by prudence and dis-

cretion, she never goes so far as to render

herself the least unpleasant. Her figure

is tall, elegant and stately.

Her full orb'd chest lie open to the gale,

And teach the lily whiteness in the vale.

Her legs and feet are particularly neat

and clean; she sings a good song, is a

very good friend to mirth and good hu-

mour, and always steers clear of vulga-

rity.

( 122 )

rity. She is now in her twentieth year,

possessed of every charm that encourag-

ing. age can boast, and but a very few

months has left Hampshire; we therefore

think two guineas bestowed upon her

cannot be regretted.

Miss C--rb--t, No. 16, _Goodge-street_.

Panting she lay, and fetch'd long double sighs,

Whilst with thick mists pleasure had dimmed

her eyes.

Some girls have been debauched by

delusive arts, and under promises of mar-

riage, and others have commenced har-

lots through want, but neither of these

motives actuated this lady's principles;

it was mere lewdness that overpowered

all nature's works, and stamped the princi-

ples of conjunction and copulation at a

very early period: Ere twelve summers

had warmed her constitution, she learned

the use of different machines, and felt

the effects of friction as soon as she had

any genial fluid within her. Who first

stamped her virgin mould, we are at a

loss to tell, but from the luxuriance of

the

( 123 )

the present soil, guess it was broke open

at an early period. She is a very luscious

looking piece, with dark eyes and hair, a

very good complexion, tall, and genteely

formed, with a charming slender leg, and

a pretty foot, which she never troubles

the gentlemen to stoop very low to have

a perfect view of. She is very good na-

tured, sings a good song, and is in bed a

charming companion, particularly at this

season of the year; for she is desirous of

having every part in contact the whole

night. In regard to price, she has one

fixed rule; she always measures a gentle-

man's _may-pole_ by a standard of _nine

inches_, and expects a guinea for every

inch it is short of full measure.

Miss G--rd--ner, No. 47, _Union-street,

Oxford street_.

She thrust among the bushes her fair hand,

To draw the plant; and every plant she drew,

She shook the stalk, and brushed away the dew.

This lady's character answers exceed-

ingly well to her name, being exquisitely

well skilled in the art of _raising_ plants in

a _hot-bed_; this she practices on her own

_bottom_,

( 124 )

_bottom_, but still wishes for a partner to be

concerned in the business. Her person is

pleasing, she has the roses in her cheeks,

encircled with beds of never fading lilys;

is as strait as a pine of two years growth,

though not quite so tall; her locks shine

like black maiden hair, and she is as full

of juice as a _ripe amber goose-berry_; she

takes a guinea to be _engrafted_ upon, and

is a very agreeable sprig of _hare-hound_.

She is much esteemed by the lovers of

_planting_, for having a beautiful show of

_navel-wort_, and her fondness for _rampions_

and _amber vitae_, she despises _fool-stones_,

_cuckow pintle_, _Jews ears_, or _birch_; but

particularly likes _Adam's Apple-tree_, _sensi-

tive plant_, _stich-wort_, _nutmegs_, and such

valuable productions. To all such she is

free, for her _lips_ opens her _lady's mantle_,

encloses them in her _convolvulus_, pours

down a whole volley of _seed_, and never

quits them whilst they have a _drop_ of _sap_.

Miss Louisa M-ns-n, No. 12, _Wells-street_.

What various charms can M-ns-n boast,

By nature thus befriended;

Whose legs impart a charm when cross'd,

And charming when extended.

Observe her well, the oblique glance,

the lascivious look, the frequent heave of

the

( 125 )

the breasts fully speak her inward feel-

ings; but can any of our readers account

for her immoderate fondness for sugar

plumbs? it must certainly be that that

induced, her to take the famous little

Jemmy B--tl--r into her train, the

_upper mouth_ he keeps constantly supplied

with its favourite food; but we fear

_Jemmy_ has not parts sufficient to supply

the _lower_ with a tenth part of _its_ neces-

sary food. She therefore solicits the

favours of the good natured public for

the necessary supplies to that inchanting

spot. She is of a good size, and every

limb well proportioned. Knowing the

beauty of her hand and arm, she takes

particular care they shall not pass un-

noticed for want of being seen; convinced

of the delicate proportion of her leg and

foot, she is very careful their covering

shall not discredit them, and has a

pleasing knack of keeping them con-

stantly exposed to sight; and being

taught by the eyes of her admirers the

influence her neck and breasts command,

she covers them with so thin a veil, that

the smallest blue branch is easily

covered; her eyes she cannot hide, nor

does she wish it; they are plain indications

of

( 126 )

of nature's central spot, and beam with

all the fire of the _enchanting spot_. Two

guineas is her price, and should Jemmy

be there he must retire if she thinks fit.

Mrs. Antr--b--s, No. 8, _Lisle-street,

Leicester-Fields_.

---------What woman, when

Her blood boils up, and wantons in her veins,

When her hot panting pulse beats to the joy;

What woman then would quench her generous

flame

in an inactive tedious husband's arms,

That fires and jades our expectation

In the first stretch of love; then duly falls

To his old trot, and drudges out the course?

Altho' we cannot assert that this lady

is actually married, we can with truth

venture to affirm there are many that

have entered the matrimonial circle,

that does not possess the same degree of

constancy for their husbands, as this

lady does for her generous keeper. He

is to be sure an Hibernian gentleman

and a captain, two powerful inducements,

or rather compellers, to her keeping

within

( 127 )

within bounds; the first being generally

passionate and cruel when irritated, and

the profession of the latter is, we must

imagine, a powerful bar. But still she is

not impregnable, and where a gentle-

man (for that he must be) possesses the

proper means, there is not much doubt

of his success; flattery is a bait that few

females can withstand, let every word

and action be well cloathed in her

richest garb; this incense must be of-

fer'd at the shrine with pains, perseverance,

honour, secrecy, and liberality join-

ed with it, and when she is thoroughly

convinced that you possess all these re-

quisites, she will unfold her _haven_ of

delight, and put you in possession of

such charms that would not disgrace a

monarch's couch; her tell-tale lascivious

eye acts as a charming index to that un-

quenchable flame that fills the whole

frame, and swallows up the other senses;

she is rather short, but admirably well

made, and when once convinced of the

_honour_ and parts of her paramour, gives

such a loose to her unbounded appetite,

that very few of the Cyprian choir can

match her.
