Miss

( 133 )

Miss T--f--n, No. 2, _Glanville-Street_.

Had love's fair goddess been so strong in charms,

Rash Diomede had dropt his vent'rous arms;

No shameful victory the Greek had won,

But had a thousand wounds receiv'd instead of

giving one.

This tit bit is not above sixteen, ra-

ther short; but pretty, having an excel-

lent complexion, with fine blue eyes,

light hair, and a very white, and regular

set of teeth. Altho' she has not been six

months upon the _Pave de Londres_, (hav-

ing received a complete education, has

learnt to dance, speak French, and play

upon the guittar; and has likewise been

initiated into all the mysteries of the

Cyprian school; having read _les Bejoux

Indiscrets_; the _Woman of Pleasure_; Ro-

chester's Poems;) she is _au fait de tout_.

Add to this, she has often viewed with

rapture all _Aretin's_ postures, and longed

for the practice, as well as the theory.

No wonder then that she should be in-

clined to give delight in every possible

attitude, and has no kind of objection to

yield, with becoming modesty, to take

a _coup_ a la _levrette_. She is at present in

keeping by a citizen, who has suffered

her

( 134 )

her to assume his name, but is always

pleased when Mr. T. is not with her, to

accommodate any gentleman in her _pret-

ty apartment_ a whole night, for which

she expects two guineas.

Miss Harriet B--r--n, No. 8, _Tavi-

stock-row_.

In framing thee, heav'n took unusual care,

And stampt thee fairest of the _Cretan_ fair.

There is something so very engaging

in the person of this lady, that those gen-

tlemen, who once visit her, seldom or

ever fail repeating it. In her deportment

she is free and open, without the least

tinge of affectation, in size rather below

mediocrity, fine dark hair, and bewitch-

ing black eyes; a complexion between

the fair and brunette: her features are

remarkably delicate, and, conjunctively

taken, fully verifies the Poet.

None can observe her features but approve,

There's grace with beauty, dignity with love.

Her breasts are finely proportioned, and

delicately moulded for love's tender attack,

and swell and recede the melting lan-

guage

( 135 )

guage of the heart; the _grove beneath_,

delicately shaded by a _sable thicket_, is

fraught with all its proper sensibility,

and, well knowing the value of her charms,

she is not one that can be sported with,

not will she suffer any liberty beyond the

strictest bounds of decency to take place,

without the payment of one piece before

hand.

Miss W--ll--ms, No. 3, _Glanville-

street_.

Firm breasts, white belly, and such thighs,

Gaze ghastly envy, and forget her size.

This lady's affable temper, and en-

gaging disposition, fully compensates

for her size, which is rather diminutive,

and the innumerable beauties of her face,

when put in competition with this defi-

ciency, ought entirely to efface the small-

est idea of it. From her youth we might

be led to imagine her deficient in the

practice of love, but we can assure our

readers he will meet but few in the _cy-

prian field_ that will shew better sport;

her hair is a beautiful glossy dark brown;

her eye brows finely arc'd, and of the

same

( 136 )

same hue, which, contrasted by a pair of

beautiful cerulean eyes, and cheeks of

living roses and lilies, places her in the

rank of first rate beauties,

Her rising breasts two hillocks are of snow,

On which two little fragrant rose buds grow;

below which descends the smooth track

of a belly, which conveys to the mind an

idea of animated ivory, at the bottom

of which is display'd a lovely chesnut

fringe, terminated by a pouting _slash hole_,

which is far from being insensible to the

raptures of its _grisly antagonist_, and with

pleasure _opens_ its _mouth_ to receive his well

erected crest, who _enters_ with his accus-

tomed pride, but soon returns with _fal-

len head_, as if conscious of its presumption;

but the _mistress_ of this formidable _enemy_

is well acquainted with the means of re-

storing life to the _vanquished memmber_, but

only to make it more sensible of its ina-

bility. Mercenary views are far from

what she aims at; she can give and

receive a _luscious_ share of pleasures

of _copulation_; but beginning to know the

accustom'd ways of the baser sort of

men, and not being always confident of

the honour of her _paramour_, if he is a

stranger,

( 137 )

stranger, she must receive her compli-

ment of half a guinea, or a guinea, ac-

cording to the length of the intended

visit, before she proceeds to any kind of

business.

Miss Fanny H--nl--y, No 14, _King-

Street, Saint James's Square_.

Her every thought, and wishes, and desires,

Agree with yours, and burn with mutual fires.

This merry, little lively tit appears to

be about sixteen, and is never to be met

without a smile upon her countenance,

and a frisky song at her tongue's end;

she is very short, a brunette in com-

plexion, with a lustfully sparkling eye,

and jetty ringlets down her back. The sis-

ter hills, with their bewitching coral

pinnacles, are irresistibly firm, and speak

their silent language very forcibly to the

heart. The grove beneath, shading the

font of life, is drest in sable, and se-

cures the _internal mansion_ from any sud-

den _attack_. She is generally very expe-

ditious in dying, therefore we would ad-

vise her antagonist to push the warm con-

test

( 138 )

est with agility, or it will not be a _dead_

heat; she is a very willing and amorous

bedfellow, never against repetition, and

such a good natured, and good tem-

per'd creature, that she seems to say to

every one,

With thee secur'd,--I'd smile at fortune's

frowns,

And all her threats defy,--nor court her

smiles.

Miss Jenny K--b--rd, No. 33, _Nor-

thumberland-street, Strand_.

You gaulky steeple, you stalking stag,

Your husband must come from Brobdignag.

It is a pity that so noble a piece could

not be preserved solely for the use of his

Majesty's Grenadiers; she is more than

six foot; she is now about twenty-five,

possesses an elegance in her person, (we

wish we could pay the same compliment

to her actions) light hair and eyes, which

are continually lighted up by the all pow-

erful brandy bottle; as she excells in the

height of stature so is she the height of

good nature, for she never refuses any

gentleman

( 139 )

gentleman her favors, that has any mo-

ney in his pocket; she is surely too the

height of vulgarity, for she will come

her _eyes and limbs_, with any lady from

Billingsgate, or Jack tar from Wapping;

but her greatest fault, and what makes

more disgusting her other imperfections,

is her violent attachment to drinking;

she generally contrives to pin her basket

completely by nine o'clock; then she

swears most abominably, and is as great

a proficient in barefaced indecency, as

Messalina of antient Rome. We there-

fore set her up as a beacon; in spite of

all, when she pleases, she can be a good

companion, and speaks the English lan-

guage remarkably well; she is never de-

nied to any one, except Mr. G. a watch-

maker, in the city, should be engaged

with her, he being her particular friend.

Mrs. Charlotte F--ne, No. 41, _King

Street, Soho_.

To tell the beautie's of the place,

How weak is human tongue;

The noble fringes which it grace,

In golden ringlets hung.

Charlotte received a good education,

and was once far above the perambu-

lating

[ 140 ]

lating class of nymphs, and might, per-

haps, have remained so, had not her

violent attachment to the curs'd buckle

and belt society, rendered her disgusting

in the eyes of all her friends; Mr.

G--bl--t, brother to a tallow chandler,

of Carnaby-Market, took particular no-

tice of her, and removed her once from

her hated crew, allowed her a tolerable

provision, and would have continued

her friend, had not her rage for the old

society made him forfeit his esteem. She

is now rather in the wane, having seen

at least twenty-eight summers, tall, and

very well proportioned; her complexion

is but indifferent, but, being a native of

Germany, is not to be wondered at; she

speaks French also, but we cannot get

her to confess she has been ten years on

the town, unless you pay her a _guinea fee_

for confessing.

Mrs, W--tp--l, No. 2, _Poland-Street,

Oxford-Street_.

She smil'd, and gave a kiss might Jove disarm,

And from his hand the brandished thunder

charm.

If this good natured willing girl should

chance to be engaged herself, she will

with

[ 141 ]

with the greatest pleasure provide her

gentleman with another companion;

she is a genteel woman, and a very

chearful companion, completely mis-

tress of the sport, and can _turn_ and

_twist_ in all the enchanting folds of love,

and press you to her breast,

In all the extatic raptures of a lover;

will enjoy, or seem to enjoy, every _high

toned_ sensation; will bend eagerly to

meet the _succulent shower_ of b1iss, and

repeat the amorous content as frequently

as you please, being first _convinced_ that

you will make her a guinea richer in the

morning.

Mrs. Gr--ff--n , _near Union-Stairs,

Wapping_.

This is a comely woman, about forty,

and boasts she can give more pleasure

than a dozen raw girls. Indeed she has

acquired great experience, in the course

of twenty years study, in _natural philpsophy_,

in the university of Portsmouth, where

she was long the ornament of the back

of the point. She is perfectly mistress

of

[ 142 ]

of all her actions, and can proceed re-

gularly from the dart of her tongue, and

the soft tickle of her hand, to the exta-

tic squeeze of her thighs; the enchanting

twine of her legs; the elaborate suction

of her lower lips, and the melting flood

of delight, with which she constantly

bedews the _mossy root_ of the tree of _life_,

and washes the testimonies of man-

hood; tho' past her meridian, she is

still agreeable; her eyes are black as

well as her hair, of which she has an

abundance both above and below, her

breasts are large but not flabby, and her

skin is fair. Five shillings is her price,

and she earns it with great industry: but

if her lover seems capable of prolonging

the _delicious banquet_, and is remarkably

well provided, she will abate _weight_ for

_inches_. Her chief and best customers

are sea officers, whom she particularly

likes, as they do not stay long at home,

and always return fraught with love and

presents.
