If women were as little as they are good,
A peas cod would make them a gown and a
hood.
A pretty, little, lively, fair complex-
ioned girl, with a dainty leg and foot,
and as pretty a pair of pouting bubbies
as ever went against a man's stomach,
and one who well deserves the attention
that is paid her by every man capable of
knowing her value. She is pleasing,
though fond, and can make wantonness
delightful; every part assists to bring on
the momomentary delirium, and then each
part combines to raise up the fallen mem-
ber, to contribute again to repeated
rapture; her price is commonly two gui-
neas,
[ 24 ]
but if a man is clever, she is very
ready to make some abatement.

-----------Lilting o'er the lea,
Ye're welcomer to take me, than to let me be.
She is tall and fair, of a striking figure,
and amiable in conversation, perfectly
complying with the desires of her ena-
morato's: she is said, like the river
Nile, frequently to overflow, but some-
how or another her inundations differ
from those of that river, as they do not
produce foecundity, some skilful gar-
deners are of opinion that she drowns
the _seed_, which is the reason that it does
not take root. This, is a disagreeable
circumstance to those who may wish not
to till in vain; but to others who would
prefer the pleasure without the expensive
consequences, she is the more desirable,
as they are sure that all who bathe in her
_Castalian spring_, will be overwhelmed
with a flood of delight.

Mrs. Cr--sby, No, 24, _George Street,
over Black Fryars Bridge_.
Fast lock'd in her arms,
And enjoying her charms,
Every frown of old care I'll defy;
Give desire such a loose,
That the all potent _Juice_,
Shall pervade ev'ry sense, and swim in each
Eye.
Birmingham lays claim to the birth of
this daughter of love, and, under the
care and protection of an indulgent
father and mother, she reached her
fifteenth year " pure and unsullied;"
at this period nature began to be very
bay with Nancy, and a strong propen-
sity for seeing _Life_, compelled her to
leave her parents and enter into servitude,
and being particularly attached to the
sons of Neptune, she chose for her
master a sea captain, whose name she
still prefers to any other. A twelve
month had not elapsed in the captain's
service before our charmer's feelings had
reached their highest pitch, and the
captain, blest with a keen appetite, after
a six months voyage, with little persua-
sion, opened her _port hole_, cleared her
_gangway_, and threw her virtue _overboard_.
