Her temper is sweet, her manners affable,
and her dispofition good. She is remark-
ably fond of dancing, and on that
account frequents most of the public
hops; where she generally picks up her
spark, which is no longer a spark for her,

Miss C----p, No. 2, _York-Street,
Middlesex-Hospital_.
Give me a nymph with all her charms,
A full grown nymph to fill my arms;
And leave to them that cannot feel,
The insipid things they call genteel.
Strange it is, but not less strange than
true, that Englishmen in general have a
great itch for variety; and according to
our promissary note in the preface, we
here present them with one of the finest,
fattest figures as fully finished for fun
and frolick as fertile fancy ever formed;
fraught with every melting charm that
can be found in the field of Venus, for-
tunate for the true lovers of fat, should
fate throw them into the possession of
such full grown. beauties. Can you
conceive the lightest tints of an Italian
sky? Such then her melting eye; can
you figure to your imagination the swel-
ling ripeness of two tempting cherries?
such
( 105 )
such then her lips; though some might
be led to imagine if they were a size less,
they would be full as tempting. Can you
place before your eyes, two beds of down
for Cupids to sport on? Such then her
breasts. Would you wish for an _ambush_,
for some of their more wanton brothers
to play at _hide_ and _seek_ in? Show them
her Cyprian mounts. Have you a desire
to roll in the loose luscious lap of lip-
inviting luxury? _Spend_ an hour in her
arms; that is, if Mr. C--tt--n should
not be there first; he being so great a
favourite, she is always denied when in
his company. If not at home, she is to
be found at any of the public hops, and
in general with her favourite man, who
we are told, won her first by virtue of his
fiddle-stick, and has, since her first attach-
ment, kept her in very good tune; if any
of our readers wishes to try a tune with
her, _he_ must pay for it; but she is not at
all exorbitant in her demands, seldom
wishing to turn money away.

Miss Nancy D--v--s, No. 31, _Wells-
street_.
Well pleas'd at the _frolic_, she laugh'd at the
pain,
And wish'd with more ardour, to try it again;
Which, when _handled_ and _dandled_, and made
fit for use,
She push'd with less pain, as the parts grew
more loose;
Then _upping_ and _downing_, kind nature told
how,
She cry'd over-raptur'd, it does not hurt now.
