she possesses a pair of love speaking ceru-
lean eyes, and a bosom as rich with love's
choicest graces as luxuriant fancy can
paint, and filled with the most irresistable
firmness, whose panting redundancy soon
invite the amorous encounter, and calls
into action the till now _hidden friend_,
whose swelling pride and impertinence
will no longer suffer the curtain to remain
drawn. She may, perhaps, at first attempt
to chide, but bolt the door, and then all
chiding ceases; an experienced sofa
then lends its aid; her turning limbs en-
hance the _coming pleasure_, and sighing
kisses crown the _golden minute_; her fair
complexion charms the heart; her wic-
ked blue eyes enchant the soul; her well
made form tempts the touch; her lovely
voice charms the ear, and her glossy flaxen
hair is worth a guinea an hour to look at.

Miss T--wnsd--n, No. 23, _Russel street,
Covent Garden_.
Give me but thee, I'd make a heaven of earth,
Each night should give to new born pleasure
birth;
The sun of _joy_ should point continual _noon_,
And e'er an age of Noah, pass too soon.
Thus sung prince ------, when he
first became bewitched with the dancing
and
( 98 )
and singing of this sprightly piece, and
in consequence placed her in a genteel
lodgings, and for some time was, we be-
lieve, her sole enjoyer; but with all his be-
witching power, his show of arms, his
awful countenance; his martial figure,
and his warlike voice, could not confine
this amorous virago within the bands of
constancy, on which account it is in ge-
neral believed he left her, and now she
trades the independant woman. Her
beautiful complexion and her fine blue
eyes open such a field for love, that whilst
they retain their present lustre, she cannot
be without admirers. Her shape is ele-
gant, her stature tall and genteel, and
taking her every feature conjunctively, we
may say with the poet
Here youth and beauty, dancing in her hand,
Perform their mystic round of amorous joy.
She is now in her eighteenth year, and has
only been engaged in our business ten
months, and tho' she cannot be stiled an
epicure, she is most undoubtedly a glut-
ton, being particularly partial to that meal
where _four haunches_ are served up at once:
in her company they are sure to be dress'd
in taste, for she always chuses to _spit_ them
herself; and always has the greatest
share
( 99 )
share in _preparing_ the _sauce_; her price for
turning _cook_ is at least three guineas.

Not less her blandishments than beauty move
At once both giving and confessing love.
