To all lovers of carrots we would re-
commend this fair complex, and blue ey'd
nymph; she is now steering into the
nineteenth year, and has very little of the
vulgarity too often found in the sister-
hood, but would be rather silent than
speak nonsense: the mere sensualist will
not find her quite to his fancy, but she
will please the delicate and sensible, who
can
( 21 )
can spend the dull pause of joy with her
agreeably, till call'd by nature to repeti-
tion; in which, as well as in conservation,
we are informed she is equally charming.

Miss H--rd--y, No. 45, _Newman Street_.
Her look serene does purest softness wear,
Her face exclaims her fairest of the fair.
This lady borrows her name from her
late keeper, who is now gone to the In-
dia's, and left her to seek support on the
wide common of independence; she is
now just arrived at the zenith of perfec-
tion, devoid of art and manners, as yet
untutor'd by fashion, her charms have for
their zest every addition youth and sim-
plicity can add. She has beauty with-
out pride, elegance without affectation,
and innocence without dissimulation;
and not knowing how long this train of
perfections will last, we would advise
our reader to make hay whilst the sun
shines.
Miss
[ 22 ]
Miss Br--wn, No. 8, _Castle-Street,
Newman-Street_.
Her every glance, like Jove's vindictive flame,
Shoot thro' the veins, and kindle all the frame.
A peculiar elegance in make and taste
in dressing distinguishes this daughter of
love; her shape is remarkably genteel,
and her figure good; she sings a good
song and is a chearful _bon_ companion;
her complexion is fair, her eyes, though
grey, exceedingly melting, and seem to
speak the disposition of the parts below
very forcibly, and if you would wish to
find a good bed-fellow, tho' not blest
with every other perfection, this lady
will perhaps suit her price, which is two
pounds two.

Mrs. T--rb--t, No 25, _Titchfield-Street_.
The glow of youth, the fire of wanton love,
Sport in her eye, and rouse the sensual heart
To strong desires unmanageable pitch.
So universally known, and so great a
fav'rite with the bucks is this lady, that
her desription is almost needless; her
eyes And hair are of the most inviting
darkness,
[ 23 ]
darkness, her temper and disposition
good, and her mind replete with the
choicest gifts of _Minerva_; her figure is
elegant, she is very tall, sings and dances
to perfection, and has only been in a
_public_ way of life twelve months; for a
single skirmish she does not refuse the
King's smallest picture, but for a whole
night's siege expects three of the largest.
