INTRODUCTION.
Again the coral berry'd holly glads the eye,
The ivy green again each window decks,
And mistletoe, kind friend to Bassia's cause,
Under each merry roof invites the kiss;
Come then, my friends, ye friends to Harris come,
And more than kisses share, drink love supreme
From his ambrosial cup, tho' oft replete
Satiety ne'er gives, but leaves the ravish'd sense
Supremely blest, and ever craving more.
Come ye gay sons of pleasure, come and feast
Your every sense, and lave your souls in love,
Fearless advance, nor think of ills to come;
Here taste variety, of love's sweet gifts,
Pure and unstain'd as at kind nature's birth.
THE parterre of Venus was never more elegantly filled, never did the loves and graces shine, with more splendor than at present; Marylebone, the now grand paradise of love, and Covent Garden, her elder born, beam with uncommon ardor; nor is our antient Drury unfrequented; no sooner do the stars above shed their benign in- fluence, but our more attracting ones below
[ 14 ]
below bespangle every walk, and make a heaven on earth; Bagnigge, St. George's Spa, with all their sister shops, deal out each night their choiceft gifts of love; nor with the sons of pleasure be dis- appointed should they extend their travels still farther east, and visit the purlieus of White Chapel. The Royalty is over full, and Wapping, Shadwell, and the neighbouring fields lend all their lovely train to glad each night; these then shall be our walks; from these gay spots of pleasure shall we call love's purest sweets,
And without thorn the rose.
By thus extending our researches we shall be able to suit every constitution, and every pocket, every whim and fancy that the most extravagant sensua- list can desire. Here may they learn to shun the dreadful quicksands of pain and mortification, and land safe on the terra firma of delight and love.

COVENT-GARDEN LADIES

Miss L—st—r, No. 6, Union-Street,
Oxford-Road.
Oh, pleasing talk, to paint the ripen'd charms
Of youth untutor'd in the female arts;
To see instinctively desire blaze out,
And warm the mind with all its burning joys.
The tell-tale eyes in liquid pools sustain'd,
The throbbing breast now rising, now suppress't;
The thrilling bliss quick darting thro' the frame,
The short fetch'd sighs, the snow white twining
limbs,
The sudden gush, and the extatic oh.
SUCH our all pleasing L—st—r leads the train, and, smiling like the morn, unfolds her heaven of beauties. Oh, for a Guido's touch, or Thomson's thought,
( 16 )
thought_, to paint the richness of her unequall'd charms; every perfection that can possibly adorn the face and mind of Woman seem centered in this be- witching girl; hither resort then, ye genuine lovers of beauty and good sense; here, whilst Plutus reigns, may you revel nor know satiety; here feast the longing appetite, and return with fresh vigor to every attack. Now arrived at the tempting age of nineteen, her ima- gination is filled with every luscious idea, refined sensibiiity, and fierce desire can unite, her form is majestic, tall, and elegant; her make truly genteel, her complexion
——-As April's lily fair,
And blooming as June's brightest rose.
Painted by the masterly hand of nature, shaded by tresses of the darkest brown, and enlivened by two stars that swim in all the essence of unsatiated love.
Her pouting lips distil nectarious balm,
And thro' the frame its thrilling transports
dart;
which, when parted, display a casket of snow white pearls, ranged in the nicest regularity, the neighbouring hills below full
( 71 )
full ripe for manual pressure, firm, and elastic, and heave at every touch. The Elysian font, in the centre of a black be- witching grove, supported by two pyra- mids white as alabaster, very delicate, and soft as turtle's down. At the approach of their favourite lord unfold, and for three guineas he is conducted to this harbour of never failing delight. Add to all this, she sings well, is a very chearful companion, and has only been, in life nine months.
___________________________________
Miss H—ll—nd, No. 2, York-Street,
Queen-Ann-Street.
No time shall pass without that dear delight,
I'll talk of love all day, and aca it all the night;
Pleasure and I as to one goal design'd,
Will run with equal pace, while sorrow lays
behind.
Those who choose to sail the island of love in a first rate ship, or to enclose an armful of delight, must be pleased with this lady; who, tho' only seventeen and short, is very fat and corpulent; yet, notwithstanding, she is a fine piece of frailty; her face is handsome and her
( 18 )
her nut brown locks, which are placed above and below, promise a luscious treat to the voluptuary. Her temper is agreeable and pleasing, and she is so far from being mercenary, that a single guinea is the boundage of her wish.
___________________________________
Miss B—rn, No. 18, Old Compton
Street, Soho.
Close in the arms she languishingly lies,
With dying looks, short breath, and wishing
eyes.
This accomplished nymph has just attained her eighteenth year, and fraught with every perfection, enters a volunteer in the field of Venus. She plays on the piano forte, sings, dances, and is mistress of every Manoeuvre in the amorous contest that can enhance the coming pleasure; is of the middle stature, fine auburn hair, dark eyes, and very inviting countenance, which ever seems to beam delight and love. In bed she is all the heart can wish, or eye admire, every limb is symmetry, every action under cover truly amorous; her price is two pounds two.
Miss
( 19 )
Miss J—ns—n, No 17, Goodge Steet,
Charlotte Street.
And all these joys insatiably to prove,
With which rich beauty feasts the glutton love.
The raven coloured tresses of Miss J—ns—n are pleasing, and are charac- teristics of strength and ability in the wars of Venus. Indeed this fair one is not afraid of work, but will undergo a great deal of labour in the action; she sings, dances, will drink a chearful glass, and is a good companion. She has such a noble elasticity in her loins, that she can cast her lover to a pleasing height, and receive him again with the utmost dex- terity. Her price is one pound one, and for her person and amorous qualifications she is well worth the money.
___________________________________
Miss L—v—r, No. 17, Ogle Street,
Queen Ann-Street East.
She darted from her eyes a side long glance
Just as she spoke, and, like her words, it flew,
Seem'd not to beg, what yet she bid to do.
This young nymph of fifteen is short, of a dark complexion, and inclin- able
( 20 )
able to be lusty; she does not rely on chamber practice only, for she takes her evening excursions to seek for clients, who may put their case to her either in a ta- vern or her own apartments; her fee is from a crown to half a guinea, and she strives to earn her money by seeming to be agreeable; however, she may please some, and as we have only known her about four months she cannot have lost her appetite, but seems particularly fond of the sport.
___________________________________
Miss L—ns—y, No. 13, Bentick Street,
Berwick Street.
Close in the arms she languishingly lies,
With dying looks, short breath, and swimming
eyes.
To all lovers of carrots we would re- commend this fair complex, and blue ey'd nymph; she is now steering into the nineteenth year, and has very little of the vulgarity too often found in the sister- hood, but would be rather silent than speak nonsense: the mere sensualist will not find her quite to his fancy, but she will please the delicate and sensible, who can
( 21 )
can spend the dull pause of joy with her agreeably, till call'd by nature to repeti- tion; in which, as well as in conservation, we are informed she is equally charming.
___________________________________
Miss H—rd—y, No. 45, Newman Street.
Her look serene does purest softness wear,
Her face exclaims her fairest of the fair.
This lady borrows her name from her late keeper, who is now gone to the In- dia's, and left her to seek support on the wide common of independence; she is now just arrived at the zenith of perfec- tion, devoid of art and manners, as yet untutor'd by fashion, her charms have for their zest every addition youth and sim- plicity can add. She has beauty with- out pride, elegance without affectation, and innocence without dissimulation; and not knowing how long this train of perfections will last, we would advise our reader to make hay whilst the sun shines.
Miss
[ 22 ]
Miss Br—wn, No. 8, Castle-Street,
Newman-Street.
Her every glance, like Jove's vindictive flame,
Shoot thro' the veins, and kindle all the frame.
A peculiar elegance in make and taste in dressing distinguishes this daughter of love; her shape is remarkably genteel, and her figure good; she sings a good song and is a chearful bon companion; her complexion is fair, her eyes, though grey, exceedingly melting, and seem to speak the disposition of the parts below very forcibly, and if you would wish to find a good bed-fellow, tho' not blest with every other perfection, this lady will perhaps suit her price, which is two pounds two.
___________________________________
Mrs. T—rb—t, No 25, Titchfield-Street.
The glow of youth, the fire of wanton love,
Sport in her eye, and rouse the sensual heart
To strong desires unmanageable pitch.
So universally known, and so great a fav'rite with the bucks is this lady, that her desription is almost needless; her eyes And hair are of the most inviting darkness,
[ 23 ]
darkness, her temper and disposition good, and her mind replete with the choicest gifts of Minerva; her figure is elegant, she is very tall, sings and dances to perfection, and has only been in a public way of life twelve months; for a single skirmish she does not refuse the King's smallest picture, but for a whole night's siege expects three of the largest.
___________________________________
Miss R—ch—rds—n, No. 2 Bennett-
Street, Rathbone-Place.
If women were as little as they are good,
A peas cod would make them a gown and a
hood.
A pretty, little, lively, fair complex- ioned girl, with a dainty leg and foot, and as pretty a pair of pouting bubbies as ever went against a man's stomach, and one who well deserves the attention that is paid her by every man capable of knowing her value. She is pleasing, though fond, and can make wantonness delightful; every part assists to bring on the momomentary delirium, and then each part combines to raise up the fallen mem- ber, to contribute again to repeated rapture; her price is commonly two gui- neas,
[ 24 ]
but if a man is clever, she is very ready to make some abatement.
___________________________________
Miss L—c—s, No. 1 York-Street,
Queen-Ann-Street East.
—————-Lilting o'er the lea,
Ye're welcomer to take me, than to let me be.
She is tall and fair, of a striking figure, and amiable in conversation, perfectly complying with the desires of her ena- morato's: she is said, like the river Nile, frequently to overflow, but some- how or another her inundations differ from those of that river, as they do not produce foecundity, some skilful gar- deners are of opinion that she drowns the seed, which is the reason that it does not take root. This, is a disagreeable circumstance to those who may wish not to till in vain; but to others who would prefer the pleasure without the expensive consequences, she is the more desirable, as they are sure that all who bathe in her Castalian spring, will be overwhelmed with a flood of delight.
Mrs.
( 25 )
Mrs. Cr—sby, No, 24, George Street, over Black Fryars Bridge.
Fast lock'd in her arms,
And enjoying her charms,
Every frown of old care I'll defy;
Give desire such a loose,
That the all potent Juice,
Shall pervade ev'ry sense, and swim in each
Eye.
Birmingham lays claim to the birth of this daughter of love, and, under the care and protection of an indulgent father and mother, she reached her fifteenth year " pure and unsullied;" at this period nature began to be very bay with Nancy, and a strong propen- sity for seeing Life, compelled her to leave her parents and enter into servitude, and being particularly attached to the sons of Neptune, she chose for her master a sea captain, whose name she still prefers to any other. A twelve month had not elapsed in the captain's service before our charmer's feelings had reached their highest pitch, and the captain, blest with a keen appetite, after a six months voyage, with little persua- sion, opened her port hole, cleared her gangway, and threw her virtue overboard. He
( 26 )
He grew strongly attached to her, and, being a man rather advanced in years, became contented and happy, nor wished for any other but his dear Nancy. She was his own, and he was all she at that time wished or desired for; one or two little prattlers were pledges of their mutual regard, and till the day of the captain's death they lived " the happy pair." It is near two years since she lost her friend, by whose death she receives a little annuity, that will ever keep her from the necessity of parading the streets merely for support, and you are certain to meet with her at home at almost any hour of the day; in the evening the generally visits one of the Theatres, and always sits in the side boxes, in which place she contrives to chuse her spark, and if possible to take him home with her (for she never sleeps out,) where he will meet with snug com- fortable apartments, civility, good hu- mour, and a very engaging partner, whilst she continues good humoured; if he uses any language or behaviour to ruffle her temper, she can act the Virago as well as most of her sex. She is rather below mediocrity in size, with dark hair, flowing in ringlets down her back, languishing
( 27 )
languishing grey eyes, and a very toler- able complexion, and a pair of pretty little firm bubbies. Her leg and foot is particularly graceful, always ornamented with a white silk stocking, and a neat shoe; she is a loving bed-fellow, and sincerely attaches herself to the enjoyment, feels the thrilling sensation with poig- nancy, and for one guinea will enjoy you as many times as you please.
N. B. She keeps the house, and you must not mention to her a syllable con- cerning her pretty lodger above, if you wish to be calm below.

Miss Harriet J—n—s, St. George's
Hotel, opposite Virginia Street, Wapping.
For lips to lips, and Tongue to Tongue,
Will make a man of sixty young.
Yes, 'tis Harriet, the fair, still blooming Harriet, whose eyes are molded for the tender union of souls (let them but borrow a little fire from Bacchus) "by Heaven's, shoot Suns" whose nectar-distilling lips pour sweetest balm; whilst the soft silent lingual inter- course shoots powerfully through all the frame,
( 28 )
frame, and awakes each dormant sense. When naked she is certainly Thomson's Lavinia.
For loveliness,
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,
But is, when unadorned, adorned the most.
A beautiful black fringe borders the Venetian Mount, and whether she pursues the Grahamatic method from a practical knowledge of its increase of pleasure, from motives of cleanliness, or as a cer- tain preventative we will not pretend to say; but we well know it makes her the more desirable bed-fellow, and after every stroke gives fresh tone and vigour to the lately distended parts; her legs and feet claim her peculiar attention, nor do their coverings ever disgrace their owner, nor their actions under cover ever do injustice to that dear delightful spot they are doomed to support, protect, and pay just obedience to; the eager twine, the almost unbearable press at the dye away moment, with all love's lesser Artillery, she plays off with uncommon activity and ardor, and drinks repetition with thirst insatiable. Half a guinea, and a new pink ribband to encircle her bewitching brows, is the least she expects for a night's entertainment.
( 29 )
entertainment. There are three or four more ladies of our order in the house, if this lady should not exactly suit.
But being blest with beauty's potent spell,
Must from her other sisters bear the bell.
___________________________________
Miss W—lk—ns—n, No. 10, Bull-and-
Mouth Street.
Forbidding me to follow she invites me,
This is the mould of which I made the sex,
I gave them but one tongue to say us nay,
And two kind eyes to grant.
Here we present our readers with as pretty a man's woman as ever the bountiful hand of nature formed; a pair of black eyes that dart resistless fire, that speak a language frozen hearts might thaw, and stand as the sweet index to the soul; a pair of sweet pouting lips that demand the burning kiss, and never receives it without paying with interest; a complexion that would charm the eye of an anchorite; a skin smooth' as monument alabaster, and white as Alpian snow; and hair that so beauti- fully contrasts the skin, that nought but nature can equal. Descend a little lower and behold the semi-snow-balls. "Studded
( 30 )
"Studded with role buds, and streaked with celestial blue,"
that want not the support of stays; whose truly elastic state never suffers the pressure, however severe, to remain, but boldly recovers its tempting smoothness. Next take a view of nature centrally; no folding lapel, no gaping orifice, no horrid gulph is here, but the loving lips tenderly kiss each other, and shelter from the cold a small but easily stretched passage, whose depth none but the blind boy has liberty to fathom; between the tempting lips the coral headed tip stands centinal, sheltered by a raven coloured- bush, and for one half guinea conduct the well erected friend safe into port. She is a native of Oxfordshire, and has been a visitor on the town about one year, is generally to be met with at home at every hour excepting ten at night, at which time she visits a favourite gentle- man of the Temple.
Miss
( 31 )
Mis N—ble, No. 10, Plough Court,
Fetter Lane.
She darted a sweet kiss,
The wanton prelude to a farther bliss;
Such as might kindle frozen appetite,
And fire e'en wasted nature with delight.
She is really a fine girl, with a lovely fair complexion, a most engaging be- haviour and affable disposition. She has a most consummate skill in reviving the dead; for as she loves nothing but active life, she is happy when she can restore it: and her tongue has a double charm, both when speaking and when silent; for the tip of it, properly applied, can talk eloquently to the heart, whilst no sound pervades the ear and send such feelings to the central spot, that imme- diately demands the more noble weapon to close the melting scene.

Miss Sophia M—rt—n, No. 11, _Ste- phen Street, Rathbone Place.
Oh! the transporting joy!
Impetuous flood of long-expected rap-
ture, she is a charming black beauty;
her vivid eyes, speak the liveliness of her
disposition,
( 32 )
disposition, and the joy she conceives in the hour of bliss. As yet she hath not ap- proached the verge of satiety; she is not so hackneyed in the ways of man as to be merely passive, she enjoys the pleasure, and though she is very fond of a noun substantive that can stand by itself, yet she loves to make it fall, and indeed the stoutest man cannot stand long before her; many a fine weapon she has made a mere hanger and the most stubborn steel hath melted in her sheath; yet no one complains, but rather rejoices at the de- bility she produces, and wishes for repe- tition which she enjoys with a gou peculiar to herself, and is possessed of every amo- rous means to produce it, as she is of every luscious one to destroy it.—To be met with at any of the genteel houses about St. James's.

Miss W—d, at a Hair-dressers, Wind-
mill Street, Tottenham Court Road.
———-Fair
As May morning rising from the east,
Or day dismounting from the golden west.
This young charmer is of the middle
size, and the resplendent black of her
lively
( 33 )
lively eyes is finely contrasted by the fairness of her complexion and lightness of her hair: her teeth are good, and her temper complying. She is really a delici- ous piece, and her terra incognita is so very agreeable to every traveller therein, that it hath ceas'd to deserve that name, and is become a well known and much frequented country; freely taking in the stranger, raising up them that fall, making the crooked straight, and although she does not pretend to restore sight to the blind, she'll place him in such a direc- tion that he cannot mistake the way; and for one guinea will engage he returns the same way back without any direction at all.

Miss Fanny C—ortn—y, at Mrs. Woods,
Lisle Street, Leicester Fields.
My heart's so full of joy,
That I could do some wild extravagance
Of love in public, and the foolish world,
That knows not tenderness, might think
me mad.
This lady is fair, of a good size, very
chatty, fond of obliging, and far from
being mercenary: the more agreeable
her
( 34 )
her man, the less of money she expects or demands. It is true, she has other customers that make up for what she may loose by her attachments to plea- sure; so that between the one and the other, she is very well off, and we pro- phesy will be long in vogue; we have known her only six months, and have reason to think very few has known her longer.

Miss R—fs, at Mrs. Wanpoles, No. 1,
Poland-Street.
Soft, as when the wooing dove,
Woo's his mate in vernal bowr's,
Is this purest child of love,
When she her choicest treasure pours.
Here youth and beauty are combined, and unadorned by education or art; what she feels in the amorous encounter cannot be feigned. Her natural simplicity is yet so unstained, and her knowledge of the world so very little, that it is almost impossible for her to dissemble; her hair, eye-brows and eyes, are of the deepest black; her complexion of the roses red, and her neck and breasts of the
( 35 )
the purest white; her limbs are nobly formed, every joint possessing the most enchanting flexibility, which she mana- ges with uncommon dexterity, and her Venus Mount is so nobly fortified, that she has no occasion to dread the fiercest at- tack, nor does she: and although she is obliged to make sudden retreats, her ad- vances follow so very brisk, and are so effectual, that
Whene'er she quits the field,
Waits vice on her lovely shield.
but we must advise our lovers of the sport to keep her pleased, as her temper, a little different from another part, is not to be sported with.

Mifs S—-ms, No. 82, Queen Ann's-Street
East.
Like some fair flower, whose leaves all co-
lours yield,
And opening, is with rarest odours fill'd;
As lofty pines o'ertop the lowly reed,
So does her graceful height most nymphs ex-
ceed.
Miss S—ms is fair and tall, and if
well paired, would be a very proper
mould
( 36 )
mould to cast grenadiers in; she is about twenty, and though rather above the common heighth, is not ungraceful nor awkward. She knows her value, and will seldom accept of less than two guineas, which indeed, are well be- stowed. It is remarkable, that her lovers are most commonly of a diminutive size. The vanity of surmounting such a fine tall woman, is, doubtless, an incentive to many, to so unmatch themselves, that they are content to be like a sweet-bread on a breast of veal. Yet, notwithstand- ing her size, we hear her low countries are far from being capacious, but like a well made boot, is drawn on the leg with some difficulty, and fits so close, as to give great pleasure to the wearer; it is about two years since her boot has been ac- customed to wear legs in it, and though often soaled, (sold) yet never wears out.

Miss B—lt—n, No. 14, Lisle-Street,
Leicester Fields.
Why should they e'er give me pain,
Who to give me joy disdain;
All I ask of mortal man,
Is to————-me whilst he can.
These four lines were not more appli- cable to Miss C—tl—y, than to this pre- sent
___________________________________
( 37 )
sent reigning lover of the sport; she is rather above mediocrity in height and size, with fine dark hair, and a pair of bewitching hazel eyes; very agreeable and loving, but she is not so unreasonable as to expect constancy; it is a weak un- profitable quality in a woman, and if she can persuade her husband or keeper that she has it, it is just the same as though she really possessed it. Miss B—lt—n is conscious she loves variety, as it con- duces both to her pleasure and interest; and she gives each of her gallants the same liberty of conscience, therefore she never lessens the fill of joy, by any real or affected freaks of jealousy; when her lovers come to her, they are welcome, and they are equally so when they fly to another's arms. Indeed, when they do so, it is generally to her advantage, as she finds they return to her with re- doubled ardour, and her charms are in general more dear, from a comparison with others; and although her age is bordering upon twenty-four, and she has been a traveller in our path four years, her desires are not the least abated, nor does she set less value on herself.

The nymphs like Nereids round her couch
were plac'd,
Where she another sea-born Venus lay;
She lay and lean'd her cheek upon her hand,
And cast a look fo languishingly sweet,
As if secure of all beholders hearts,
Neglecting she could take 'em.
This young charmer, for she is not yet past the bloom of eighteen, has so beautiful a face, that though here and there the general ravager of beauty has left his dented marks in a skin, that the finest tints of the tulip, carnation, or rose, blended with the hue of the fairest lily, cannot equal, (so vastly superior is the vermilion tinge of nature, in this her choicest and most animated work over all other) yet their effect is rather pleas- ing than otherwise; and perhaps have tempered a blaze of beauty, which with- out them would have been insupportable. Her eyes are of that colour, which the celebrated Fielding has given the heroine ofhis most admirable work, and which dart
( 39 )
dart a lustre peculiar to themselves. From such an eye each look has power to raise
"The loosest wishes in the chastest heart,"'
and melt the soul to all the thrillings of unasked desire, till quite overpowered with the transporting gaze, the senses faint, and hasten to enjoyment. Her hair is also black, of which great orna- ment, nature has been lavishly bountiful, for when loose, it flows in unlimited tresses down to her waist; nor are the tendrills of the moss covered grotto thinner distributed, but though not yet bushy, might truly be stiled Black Heath; how early this thicket of her maidenhead was penetrated through, by the natural invader of Middlesex, we cannot pretend to say; moft probably when it was only a small brake; for from its present state, and the extraordinary warmth of the soil, it must have began to shoot very early, and the mother of all things must have opened the sanguinary sluices in this delightful Channel, at an early period. The mount above, has a most delicious swell, as ambitious to receive on it downy bed, its _swelling rival_and antagonist
( 40 )
antagonist, and it is so well clothed, that it may be justly called the Cyprian Grove; whilst her breasts are so fine and so fully shaped, as to entitle her to be stiled en bon point, in the richest sense of the words, and they have a springinness that defies any weight whatever, of amo- rous pressure. Here the voluptuary might revel in pleasure, better imagined than described, in
"Soft silent rapture and extatic bliss."
Her teeth are remarkably fine; she is tall, and so well proportioned (when you examine her whole naked figure, which she will permit you to do, if you per- form Cytherean Rites like an able priest) that she might be taken for a fourth Grace, or a breathing Animated Venus de Medicis. Her disposition and tem- per is remarkably good, so sweet that it is your own fault if it be soured; for she is possesed of an uncommon share of politeness, nothing rude or un- courteous in her manner, but abounding with civility and good breeding; her connections are good, and she has a keeper (a Mr. H—nn—h) both kind and
( 41 )
and liberal; notwithstanding which, she has no objection to two supernumerary guineas.

Hast thou beheld a fresher, sweeter nymph,
Such war of white and red upon her cheeks,
What stars do spangle, Heaven, with so much
beauty,
As those two eyes become that Heav'nly face.
At the tempting luscious age of nine- teen, this lovely girl presents us with a face well worth the attention of the na- turalist; She is of a fine fair complexion, with light brown hair, which waves in many a graceful ringlet, has good teeth, and her tell-tale dark eyes, speak indeed, the tender language of love, and beam unutterable softness; she is tall of stature; and of the moft tempting en bon point; plump breasts, which in whiteness sur- pass the driven snow, and melt the most snowy of mankind to rapture. Her name she borrows from a gentleman, who, some little time ago, posessed her (as he thought
( 42 )
thought) entirely for some time, but find- ing himslef mistaken, and tired with the cornuted burthen on his brows, he left her about six months ago, to seek support in this grand mart of pleasure; and as she has been remarkably successful, and sti11 remains a favourite piece for the enjoy- ment of her charms, and the conversa- tional intercourse, with a temper remark- ably good, for a whole night she ex- pects five pounds five shillings.

Mark my eyes, and as they languish,
Read what your's have written there.
This is a very genteel made little girl, with the languishing eye of an Eloise; like her too, she is warm with the fire of love, in all its native freedom, which, fanned by the amorous air, soon kindles into a flame that cannot be quenched but by the powerful effects of the Cyprian Torrent, which she is very fond of being bathed in; she has good teeth, And a lilly white skin, which is beauti- fully
( 43 )
fully contrasted by a grot black as the sooty raven, which, for two pounds two, will entertain you a whole night.

Hope, with a gaudy prospect feeds the eye,
Sooths every sense, does with each with
comply;
But false enjoyment the kind guide destroys,
We lose the passion in the treacherous joys.
Enjoyment is the most exquisite of human pleasures; ah! what a pity it is so short in duration. Nature wound up to the highest pitch, after striking twelve, immediately descends to poor solitary one: these are the reflections that na- turally arise on enjoying Betsy. Though she is but little, she is an epitome of de- light, a quintescence of joy, which by the most endearing chemistry, give all spirit, and unite in small compass, the efficacy of a much larger bulk. Her lovely fair tresses and elegant countenance beat alarms to love; but we attack only to fall in the breach, and lament that the luscious
( 44 )
luscious conflict is so soon ended. The common destroyer of beauty has made a few dells on the face of this fair Jewess, but a pair of pretty dimples makes ample amends, and quite over balances these trifling imperfections; she has been in life not more than six months, and ex- pects, if she calls any man a friend, to receive two guineas the first visit.

See through the liquid eye, the melting glance,
The buried soul in lovely tumults lost,
And all the senses to the centre sent.
She is of the middle size, light hair, blue eyes, and about twenty-two; she is a very agreeable companion, fings a good song, and is a buxom, lively, luscious bed-fellow, but has nothing re- markable above the common run of women of the town, who are young and handsome; she has been a sportswoman in the Cyprian Games about five years, and always expects two pounds two be- fore she is mounted.

How dull the spring of life would prove,
Without the kiss that waits on love;
From youthful lips you soon receive
The richest harvest lips can give.
Eloped from her friends in the country but a short time, flushed with all the amorous fire of youth insatiate, and ripe with every personal charm the heart of man can wish, this pleasing girl enters our list. The fresh country bloom still remains unimpaired, the rural vivacity is still the same, and united with a beauti- ful skin and complexion, we can present our readers with a temper and disposition that good nature and affability must call their own. Her teeth are regular, and very white, her eyes of the most lively hazel, which, without the least fire from Bacchus, shoot the most powerful glances; her hair a lovely brown, her breasts are small and never have been sufficiently subjected to manual pressure to deprive them of their natural firmness; she is willingly compliant to any liberty in company, that does not extend beyond the bounds of decency; but let nature come
( 46 )
come forth unadorned, get once the enchanting girl in bed, she opens all her charms, and gives a sudden loose to such a bent of amorous passion, she would fire the most torpid dispolition; when once you press her in your eager arms the game must instantly begin, and scarcely does she allow an introductory kiss, so uncurbed is her appetite, and so fond is she of repetition, that she would with every lover that passes a night with her to be able to say with Ovid,
Fair Betsy knows, when numbering the delight
Not less than nine full tranfports crown'd the
night.
Only six months has this child of love dealed out her charms in public, but well knowing their value, is not quite satisfied if she does not receive on paper a proof of their excellence.

Give me plenty of bub,
From the large brandy tub,
And I'll spend the whole night in your arms,
I'll expose every part
Of my brown apple cart,
And stifle, quite stifle the boy in its charms.
I hope none of our readers will proves a
Mr. L-d-tt, who, about six months ago,
from
( 47 )
from a mere silly quarrel with this his fa- vourite fair, thought it convenient to fin- ish his existence in the leaden way; she does not possess either youth or novelty sufficient to tempt many, to act in that way, having been at least seven years a trading nymph to our knowledge; she is tall, and genteelly made, with a fine skin, and beautiful flaxen hair, but is too fond of the brandy bottle to give that sincere delight, that mutual interchange of souls so necessary to stamp the extatic rapture; she may, however, prove to those that will drink a glass with her, and has no objection to become as merry as herself, a desireable piece, as she is neither extra- vagant in her demands, or nice in the choicee of her admirers.

Then he began to rave and tear,
And swore once more he'd try the fair
To grace his notes he would take care,
She gave her kind consent.
He pitch'd the highest note he could,
And kept the stops just where he should,
Damon, says she, your musick's good,
And I am now content.
This lady, we are told, is remarkably
fond of musick, and there is no tune
within
( 48 )
within compass of the flute but she plays with the greatest dexterity; she is perfect mistress of all the graces, is never out in stopping, and is full as well skilled in pricking; altho' the principal part of her music is played in duets, and every duet in a natural key, she has not the smallest objection to two flats; she has a variety of sweet notes, and many pleasing airs, and generally chooses the lowest part; every shake and quaver she feels in- stinctively, and sometimes has played the same tune over twice, before her partner has gone through it once, without the least deviation from true concord; she does not allow of any cross barrs, and is particularly partial to the Tacit flute; her moving stars are as black and as round as the end of a Crotchet; no flower that blows is like her cheek, or scatters such perfume as her breath: no advice can controul her love; she does as she will with her swain, presses him away to the copse, puts the wanton God where the bee sucks into her pleasant native plains, soon after you feel the graceful move and find how sweet it is in the low-lands; and should it be in sable night, she loves to restore the drooping plant, thinks variety is charming, and always gives one kind kiss before she parts; and
( 49 )
and as she is now only nineteen, can sing a French as well as an English song, and has a very good friend, whose name she at present assumes: you must not approach her shrine without being well fortifyed with root of all evil.

Miss B—nd, No. 28, Frith-Street.
A rose-bud blows in either cheek,
Round which the lily makes its bed;
Two dimples sweet good nature speak,
And auburn ringlets deck her head.
Her heaving breasts pant keen desire,
Their blushing summits own the flame;
Her eyes seem wishing something nigher,
Her hand conducts it to the same.
Miss B—nd is a very genteel agreeable little girl, and is distinguished more by the elegancy of her dress, than the beauty of her person, which might perhaps have been ranked in the list of tolerable's, had not the small-pox been quite so unkind; she is, nevertheless, a desirable _well tem- pered
( 50 )
pered piece_, and one that does not degrade herself by her company or her actions; she comes into our corps, in confequence of her good keeper's leaving England, and enlists a volunteer, in all the spright- liness and vivacity of nineteen, with beautiful auburn hair, and a pair of pretty languishing blue peepers, that seem at every glance to tell you how nature stands affected below; nor will those swimming luminaries deceive you; it is ever ready to receive the well formed tumid guest, and as the external crura en- twine and press home the vigorous tool, the internal crura embrace it, and presses out the last precious drops of the vital fluid, which her hand, by stealth, conveyed to the treasure bags of nature, by tender squeezings seem to increase the undiscrib- able rapture, at the dye away moment; in short, during her performance of venereal rites, she is all the heart of the most in- flamed sensualist can wish, or any man that has two spare guineas in his pocket, can desire.

Miss Gr—n, No. 32, Little Russel-Street.
Strait a new heat return'd with his embrace,
Warmth to my blood and colour to my face;
Till at the length, with mutual kisses fir'd,)
To the last bliss we eagerly aspir'd, ]
And both alike attain'd, what both alike )
desir'd.
When beauty beats up for recruits, he must be an errant coward indeed, who re- fuses to enlist under its banner; and when good humour, complaisance, and engaging behaviour are the rewards of service, it is shameful to desert. This lady's charms attract most who behold them; though of a low stature, and rather under the middle size, she is ele- gantly formed; her black eyes, contrasted with her white teeth, are highly pleasing, and the goodness of her temper rivets the chains which her agreeable form first put one. One guinea, is then, too poor a re- compence for such merit; and it is to be deplored, that a girl, who should only exchange love for love, should be obliged to take payment for what is ever beyond price: in bed, she is by far the better piece,
( 52 )
piece, and is up to every manoeuvre necessary to restore life, and every luscious move to destroy; hands, tongue, lips, legs, and every part of the busy frame is engaged at once in the pleasing task, and all to provoke and bring the soul breathing conflict to the last extatic gush.

——————————— O my soul,
Whither, whither art thou flying,
Lost in sweet tumultuous dying?
You tremble love, and so do I!
Ah! stay, and we'll together dye;
My soul shall take her flight with thine
Life dissolving in delight,
Heaving breasts and swimming sight,
Faultering speech and gasping breath,
Symptoms of delicious death;
My soul is ready for the flight.
This lady appeared some years ago, to our readers, under the name of Ogl—, but as we have frequently seen, that a girl, though young, may yet be very disagreeable,
( 53 )
disagreeable, so we may conclude, from Mrs. D—d, that a woman in years may be perfectly alluring; she is, indeed, turned of forty, rather fat and short, yet she looks well, dresses neat, and can divide as smartly covered, and as neat a leg and foot as ever beat time to the silent flute; her temper and be- haviour are good, and if you are not soon disposed for the attack, she will shew you such a set of pictures, that very seldom fails to alarm the sleeping member. Then may you behold the lovely fount of de- light, reared on two pillars of monu- menatal alabaster; the symmetry of its parts, its borders enriched with wavering tendrils, its ruby portals, and the tufted grove, that crowns the summit of the mount, all join to invite the guest to enter. The cordial reception he meets therein, with the tide of flowing bliss, more delicious than the boasted nectar of the gods, engulph the raptured soul, and set the lovely owner of the premisses, above nine tenths of the green gew- gaws that flutter about the town. If discipline forms the soldier in the wars of Mars, experience finishes the female combatant in the skirmishes of Venus. That experience this lady has,and is per-
( 54 )
perfectly skilled in every delightful manoeuvre, knowing how to keep time, when to advance and retreat, to face to the right or left, and when to shower down a whole volley of love; so that those who are vanquished by her glory in their defeat, pant only for returning vigour to renew the combat; she is perfectly mistress in the art of restoring life, and performs the tender friction with a hand soft as turtles down. Keeps the house, and after giving you a whole night's en- tertainment, is perfectly satisfyed, and will give you a comfortable cup of tea in the morning, for one pound one.
