but the cruel laceration that this first
attack was productive of, obliged her to
confine herself to her bed two days, and
led her parents to the discovery of their
daughter's shame, which so highly in-
censed them, that they abandoned her to
the world at large; and from this aera
we may date her entrance into life. The
_Kite_, in _Catherine-street_, first _swooped_ upon
her, and carried her to the _nest_ as a fine
prey, and she was not mistaken; she
proved such, and for six months never
was in want of _culls_; at the end of this
time ihe deserted the mother abbess,
took apartments in Glanville-street, and
traded on her own _bottom_, where she
figured away with tolerable grace for
three months, and then removed to her
prefent situation. She is diminitive in
size,
( 115 )
size, with fine black eyes, large firm, and
full breasts, a handsome mouth, pretty
curling brown ringlets, and delicate lit-
tle hands; a very pretty leg and foot,
which is at all times ready to divide and
_house_ its old friend, at the very low price
of one ounce of silver.

----------The self same cates
Still offer'd, soon the appetite offend;
The most delicious soonest.
How happy would it be for the author
of this anniversary publication, could he
procure a friend to new christen the fea-
tures, that the reader might with less fa-
tigue go through this heap of tautology,
but as that end is not yet accomplished,
we must steer according to the old line,
An eye must still be an eye, and a tooth a tooth;
both of which our young Venus, who has
just reached her seventeenth year, pos-
sesses in a superlative degree. She strong-
ly points to your imagination a casket of
orient
( 116 )
orient pearls, the former of two living dia-
monds, whose language so forcibly invite
thq blind boy to the happy cloyster, that
there is seldom many fleeting moments
before an almost involuntary attack must
be made. Her heaving breasts foretell
the _Coming_ joy; the _liquid eye_ declares it
nearer still; the _interrupted sigh_, the sud-
den _gush_, if premature and _involuntary twist_
of the limbs speaks a _flowing_ of the _tide_,
and the critical oh! bids the silly pen
defiance to express. She is of a good size,
and well form'd, of a lively and sweet
disposition, has been but a short time in
life, and has beautiful dark hair;
Her eye brows arch'd, and rather full than
thin,
To shade the dazzling light that dwells within.
