that want not the support of stays;
whose truly elastic state never suffers the
pressure, however severe, to remain, but
boldly recovers its tempting smoothness.
Next take a view of nature centrally;
no _folding lapel_, no _gaping orifice_, no
_horrid gulph_ is here, but the _loving lips_
tenderly kiss each other, and shelter
from the cold a small but easily stretched
passage, whose _depth_ none but the _blind
boy_ has liberty to _fathom_; between the
_tempting lips_ the _coral headed tip_ stands
centinal, sheltered by a _raven coloured-
bush_, and for one half guinea conduct
the _well erected friend_ safe into _port_.
She is a native of Oxfordshire, and has
been a visitor on the town about one
year, is generally to be met with at home
at every hour excepting ten at night, at
which time she visits a favourite gentle-
man of the Temple.

Mis N--ble, No. 10, _Plough Court,
Fetter Lane_.
She darted a sweet kiss,
The wanton prelude to a farther bliss;
Such as might kindle frozen appetite,
And fire e'en wasted nature with delight.
She is really a fine girl, with a lovely
fair complexion, a most engaging be-
haviour and affable disposition. She
has a most consummate skill in reviving
the dead; for as she loves nothing but
active life, she is happy when she can
restore it: and her tongue has a double
charm, both when speaking and when
silent; for the tip of it, _properly applied_,
can talk eloquently to the heart, whilst
no sound pervades the ear and send such
feelings to the central spot, that imme-
diately demands the more noble weapon
to _close_ the _melting scene_.

Oh! the transporting joy!
Impetuous flood of long-expected rap-
ture, she is a charming black beauty;
her vivid eyes, speak the liveliness of her
disposition,
( 32 )
disposition, and the joy she conceives in
the hour of bliss. As yet she hath not ap-
proached the verge of satiety; she is not
so hackneyed in the ways of man as to be
merely passive, she enjoys the pleasure,
and though she is very fond of a _noun
substantive_ that can _stand_ by itself, yet she
loves to make it _fall_, and indeed the
stoutest man cannot _stand_ long before
her; many a _fine weapon_ she has made
a _mere hanger_ and the most stubborn steel
hath melted in her _sheath_; yet no one
complains, but rather rejoices at the de-
bility she produces, and wishes for repe-
tition which she enjoys with a _gou_ peculiar
to herself, and is possessed of every _amo-
rous_ means to produce it, as she is of
every luscious one to destroy it.--To be
met with at any of the genteel houses
about St. James's.
