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_,

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-

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 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
