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,

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.

Miss Bl--ke, No. 74, _Castle Street,
Oxford Road_.
The soft desiring girl expects thy coming;
Busy in thought, and hasty for the hour,
She turns and sighs, and wishes, counts the
clock,
And every minute drags a heavy pace,
Till thou appear, the champion of the bed,
Arm'd at all points, and eager for the charge
That calls thee to the combat of thy love.
This lady's graceful figure, beautiful
face, dark hair, and ivory teeth, must
