no matter. Vanity whispers to each,
_this is for thee alone_, and the self-deceived
dolt believes it. Miss S--tt--n, indeed,
can give pleasure; her agreeable per-
son, animated eyes, and lively manner,
promise pleasing enjoyment, and in that
she does not deceive; she artfully prolongs
the pleasure to its utmost limits, and even
then repines it is so short. She is of a
comfortable size, genteelly form'd, with a
pretty round face, a little pimpled, very
pretty orient teeth, and now just entered
her twenty-second year; her lodgings are
neat and elegant, for the use of which,
and a little _black apartment_, she always
carries about her; she expects, at least 3
guineas; if not at home, in the evening,
is generally to be met with in the green
boxes.

Miss C--p--r, at a China shop, _Russell
Court_.
Let me press therein my arms,
Tune of my heart, and charmer of my eyes,
Nay, thou shall hear the extacy from me,
I'll make thee smile with my extravagant passion.
This lady is neither handsome, well
dress'd, well lodg'd, nor well bred; yet
she
( 71 )
she will give more delight than most of
the finical dames, who think they do
their gallants a favour to admit their em-
braces at a high price. This humble girl
is thankful for a crown, and will testify
her gratitude in whatever way you chuse,
she is willing to appear in the dress of
_pure nature_, as her skin is without spot
or blemish, her breasts small and plump,
and her limbs well turned and well pro-
portioned. It is her joy to give joy, and
she omits no means of procuring it;
though her compliance is ample, she is
so reserved in her demand that she takes
what is given, and does not, like too
many of her sisterhood, seize the minute
just preceding the moment of extacy to
demand more, and either proceed or
draw back as her demands are gratify'd or
not. In short she is worthy of some de-
gree of elevation, to enable her to walk
a more gainful round than Catherine-
street, or the Strand. She has lately been
to visit her parents in Derbyshire, and is
now returned a tolerable fresh piece
again.
Mrs.
( 72 )
Mrs. H--w--rd, No. 14, _Moor's-place,
Lambeth_.
Her brows are arch'd, and rather full and thin,
To shade the dazzling light that dwells therein.
