her _nut brown locks_, which are placed
_above_ and below, promise a luscious
treat to the voluptuary. Her temper is
agreeable and pleasing, and she is so far
from being mercenary, that a single
guinea is the boundage of her wish.

Miss B--rn, No. 18, _Old Compton
Street, Soho_.
Close in the arms she languishingly lies,
With dying looks, short breath, and wishing
eyes.
This accomplished nymph has just
attained her eighteenth year, and fraught
with every perfection, enters a volunteer
in the field of Venus. She plays on the
piano forte, sings, dances, and is mistress
of every _Manoeuvre_ in the amorous contest
that can enhance the coming pleasure;
is of the middle stature, fine auburn
hair, dark eyes, and very inviting
countenance, which ever seems to beam
delight and love. In bed she is all the
heart can wish, or eye admire, every
limb is symmetry, every action under
cover truly amorous; her price is two
pounds two.
Miss
( 19 )
Miss J--ns--n, No 17, _Goodge Steet,
Charlotte Street_.
And all these joys insatiably to prove,
With which rich beauty feasts the glutton love.
The raven coloured tresses of Miss
J--ns--n are pleasing, and are charac-
teristics of strength and ability in the
wars of Venus. Indeed this fair one is
not afraid of work, but will undergo a
great deal of labour in the action; she
sings, dances, will drink a chearful glass,
and is a good companion. She has such
a noble elasticity in her loins, that she can
cast her lover to a pleasing height, and
receive him again with the utmost dex-
terity. Her price is one pound one, and
for her person and amorous qualifications
she is well worth the money.

Miss L--v--r, No. 17, _Ogle Street,
Queen Ann-Street East_.
She darted from her eyes a side long glance
Just as she spoke, and, like her words, it flew,
Seem'd not to beg, what yet she bid to do.
This young nymph of fifteen is
short, of a dark complexion, and inclin-
able
( 20 )
able to be lusty; she does not rely on
_chamber practice_ only, for she takes her
evening excursions to seek for _clients_, who
may put their case to her either in a ta-
vern or her own apartments; her fee is
from a crown to half a guinea, and she
strives to earn her money by seeming to
be agreeable; however, she may please
some, and as we have only known her
about four months she cannot have lost
her _appetite_, but seems particularly fond
of the sport.
