Oh may the giddy rake, whose head
overpowered by the effects of the grape,
whose every thought, whose every idea
lies centered in the gratification of a
sensual appetite; whole impetuosity in-
discriminately rushes him on the first
object that presents herself, may he, at
this his most unguarded hour, rest in the
arms of this enchanting girl whose good
nature, care, and attention, might make
him reflect with pleasure on the past
folly. In her he'll meet with every
pleasing accomplishment the heart of
man could wish; her natural disposition
as yet remains unvitiated by the knowledge
of the world, or corrupted by the hand
of time. She is now in her eighteenth
year, with every amorous feeling nature
at this youthful period can furnish her
with; nor is she desirous of keeping
those feelings a secret. Look in those
fine
( 1O2 )
fine black eyes, there read the perfect
language of her soul, for never was
_silent language_ so fully seen and felt; she
has a fine open handsome countenance,
tall of stature, and if her man is pleased
with a good song, he won't be didappoint-
ed by putting the request to our sweet
J--nes, whose good nature is such she
never refuses,
Or should he wish to join the merry dance,
Where the brisk couplets artfully advance.
Here likewise with our charmer as a
partner would he be equally delighted;
here she displays such a leg and foot, and
with so much activity, sprightliness, and
judgment, that none can see but admire,
admire but love; with all these qualifi-
cations, say you, she cannot be a bad
bedfellow; she has equal merits in bed,
and pleases there with equal certainty.
She is neither covetous, nor will she
sink below what her real merits deserve;
if after this, and our readers recollecting
she is but lately arrived from the lewd
mountains of Wales, he thinks two
guineas to much, he had better steer some
other course.
Miss
( 103 )
Miss Charlotte C--sd--l, No. 25,
_Titchfield-Street, Oxford-Street_.
'Till haply wandering in the fields of air,
Some fiend had whisper'd C--sd--l, thou art
fair.
We cannot help thinking but this was
the case with our charmer in question;
who, as we have heard, felt her first
desire for the sport from meer inclination;
she is tall and genteely framed, a pretty
innocent looking face, and a pair of
tempting breasts, that nineteen blooming
autumns have brought to full maturity;
a lively blue eye and flaxen hair; a
pretty reserved manner, (excepting when
exhilirated by the chearful glass) which
adds a particular grace to every feature,
and makes her doubly pleasing, fully
verifying Dr. Armstrong,
The coyley yielded kiss charms most,
And gives the most sincere delight;
Cheapness offends.
