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.

Miss G--rge, _at a Grocer's Shop, South
Moulton-Street_.
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.
