Gig. Upon this the Goths fell a hissing— & cry’d out— out— out—
Sr. Eter. O the Savages!
Mar. But there is a further Charge against this Lady; She is said to be a common Nusance at the Theatres; and that She frequently Sets the whole House in a Titter to the Confusion of the Actors, & the general disturbance of the Audience, by constantly exposing her Nudities to Publick View, contrary to the Ideas of female Modesty, and the Laws of Decency.
Miss Dy. O fye Seignior, how can you make use of so indelicate an Expression. A Lady’s Nudities, why, you might as well have said— I vow it is almost plain English, I protest such an Expression is enough to get your Farce hiss’d off the Stage—

Dia. I think Mr. Drawcansir when those Objects are to be expos’d that— a Lady’s Proturberances, her Snow balls, or her Lover’s Amusements— wou’d be much more delicate.
Sr. Rog. You are very right Madam, and if they happen to be of the immense kind— Cupid’s Kettle Drums Mr. Pasquin, wou’d not be an— unelegant Phrase, ha, ha, ha.

I wonder somebody does not tell her of it, then the Men, they are all in a high Grin; and the Smarts are frequently heard to roar out— O Gad— they are ravishingly White, and smooth as polish’d Marble!
