Miss

( 128 )

Miss H--ll--n, No. 2, _Glanville-street_.

Oh she is all the heart would wish, or eye admire,

The purest child of love by beauty fir'd;

Whom but to love, need only but to see,

To see, admire, such heaven born symmetry;

To touch, to feel, ah, there's the potent hold

That chains the will, and molds the snowy heart

To love's delightful glow; the milky hills

Half rising, half suppress'd, with glowing ardor

Ask corporeal pressure, and invite

The _carnal weapon_ to its burning sheath.

This lady, in consequence of a trivial

fall out with her parents, (which by the

bye she had long sought for)left her home,

and flushed with all the fire of youth

impetuous; burning with every desire

the young hand of lust could create, and

still a stranger, except in idea, to the

grand _subduer_ of their fires, she sought

this expanded field of delight, nor sought

in vain; her youth and person soon

attracted the eye of an old male veteran

in our band, and her innocence and

simplicity were soon overpowered, her

maiden honours plucked, and all her

virgin claims at once lie dead. The

lively girl in question is now entering

her sixteenth year, has only been four

months

( 129 )

months on the town, the thinly _covered_

grot below has therefore not yet suffi-

ciently felt the general influence of its

much sought for _acquaintance_, to be

very thickly covered, still she thinks it

proof against any attack, nor fears to

meet the most vigorous, tho' destitute

of every other weapon. She is rather

darkly complexioned, with fine hazel eyes,

is short, and inclinable to be lusty, and

as pretty a leg and foot as man would

wish to divide, which any good natured

man, with two guineas in his pocket

that he has no objection to spare, may

lie between the whole livelong night,

and taste all the raptures he can possibly

expect to meet with, in one as yet so

untutored in the art.

Madam D--sl--z, No. 46, _Frith-street,

Soho_.

Si javois pour heritage,

Le tresor le plus charmant,

je vous en donnerois en gage,

Et mon coeur pour un present.

It is only six months that this lady has

left her native country, and at present

speaks

( 130 )

speaks very little English. She is young

and lively, (but still does not seem to

possess so much vivacity as the majority

of her countrywomen;) she loves to

revenge her countrymen's cause on the

English, by doing what the most valor-

ous Frenchman would never effect, that

is, to bring Britons on their knees; she

is now about twenty two, rather short

and fat, with a plump face, and such a

roguish lear in her eye, that cannot be

resisted. Several of our brave officers

have spent some of their _best blood_ in her

service, and regretted they had no more

to _shed_. Her lovely dark hair seems like

a net to catch lovers, and her lower tend-

rils, which sport on her alabaster mount

of Venus, are formed to give delight. She

has one qualification which many English

girls want, which is a certain cleanliness

in the Netherlands. They are contented

to wash their faces, necks, and hands;

but Mademoiselle, like many of her

countrywomen, thinks that not enough;

she performs constant ablutions on the

gulph of pleasure, and keeps it constantly

fresh, cool, and clean, never putting

a morsel into that mouth, till she has

fully absterged every possible remnant of

the last meal. She constantly mounts

her

( 131 )

her _bidet_, and with a large sponge laves

the whole extent of the parish of the

mother of all saints. Some may, perhaps,

think her a female spy, or a smuggler;

but surely a girl, who so freely discloses

her own secrets, can have no improper

aim at those of government; and her

commodity cannot be pronounced as

contraband when it hath so often been

duly entered.

She dresses quite in the French stile

and taste, lays on a profusion of rouge

and pearl powder, and is not particularly

partial to money, but will condescend to

take a couple of guineas, _not as payment,

but solely as 'une gage d'amour_.

Miss Emma Ell--tt, No. 8, _Action-

street, Gray's-Inn-Lane_.

Our souls their former joys renew,

We raise new sport, and wanten jesting;

Our eyes each others charms review,

In every form of love contesting.

At last, our body's warm'd with mutual

fire,

To prove each others aid to join in one

conspire.

This truly lovely woman is about

twenty, and, whilst she remains in a

state

( 132 )

state of silence, commands every attract-

ing charm the heart of man can wish;

she speaks French tolerably well, and

sings inimitably; she has now trod the

path of love four years, during which,

time pretty Emma has experienced every

vicissitude the cruel hand of fortune could

possibly inflict. At present Mr. B. a

merchant, in Castle-Court, is the gen-

tleman from whom she derives her prin-

cipal support; she has fine blue melting

eyes, with an aquiline nose, and a very

pretty mouth, when her tongue is in-

active, but when once she gives a loose

to that unruly member, she pours forth

such a torrent of blackguardism that shall

destroy every attracting feature, and

spoil one of the most desirable looking

girls in the _Cyprian market_. Our damsel

is therefore the most agreeable looking

girl when asleep; in bed she is truly

amorous, and a charming sportswoman,

and when one strain is finished, cries, _da

capo_, with a good grace, for which she

expeas five guineas.
