to melt a haughty temper down to the
standard of all complying love, let him
repair to this imperious golden hair'd
beauty, for however proud, she will stoop
to conquer any bold _invader_; and you
may lay her on her back by closing with
her in the athletic exercise of wrestling,
as she is very fond of Cupid's _hug_, and the
amorous _lock_, and will wait your _further_
attack with becoming spirit, and engage
your _champion_ of her _ring_, with a grasp,
till he is reduced to _bend_ beneath the
powerful squeeze, and _yield_ all the _metal_
he has about him to his circling antago-
nist, who, so far from behaving ungene-
rous, will give out in exchange as much,
or more rich treasure of another coin, in
token of mutual amity; in short she is as
smart a little girl as you will in general
see of her complexion and size, and bor-
rows her name from a gentleman who is
a very good friend, but does not expect
her to confine the whole of her favours to
him alone; but allows her to pick up her
odd guineas as she pleases.
Mrs.
( 77 )
Mrs L--w--s, _Upper Charlotte Street,
Rathbone Place_.
Sure nature cast one in her softest mould,
All mild and gentle, never made to scold.
West Indies gave birth to this daugh-
ter of Momus by Venus; the warmth of
the clime brought the charming girl's feel-
ing to maturity at an early period, and
a gentleman, whose name she assumes,
first _trod_ down _Hymen's_ fence, and made
her a perfect woman; but the natural
warmth of her constitution soon compell-
ed her to seek variety in our great mart;
she therefore left her good friend, and
now presents the world with a sweet
chearful disposition, fine dark hair, and
eyes of the same friendly hue; fine teeth,
is short and plump, and we have not had
her above eighteen months; she expects
three guineas for a whole night, but if you
make a short visit, one pound one shilling
is the least.
Betsy
( 78 )
B--t--sy, at Mrs. Kelly's, _Duke Street,
St. James's_.
--Endless joys are in that heaven of love,
A thousand Cupids dance upon her smiles;
Young bathing graces wanton in her eyes,
Melt in her looks, and pant upon her breasts;
Each word is gentle as a western breeze
That fans the infant bosom of the spring,
And every sigh more fragrant than the morn.
