3 It is really ludicrous to observe the ridiculous pride of some of these ephemeral things;--during their mayoralty, the gaudy city vehicle with four richly caparisoned horses is constantly in the drive, with six or eight persons crammed into it like a family waggon, and bedizened out in all the colours of the rainbow;--ask for them six months after, and you shall find them more suitably employed, packing rags, oranges, or red herrings. 4 This man is such a strange compound of folly and eccentricity, that he is eternally in hot water with some one or other. 5 Mrs. Fanny G-1-s, the ci-devant wife of a corn merchant, a celebrated courtezan, who sports a splendid equipage, and has long figured upon town as a star of the first order in the Cyprian hemisphere. She has some excellent qualities, as poor M---------n can vouch; for when the fickle goddess Fortune left him in the lurch, she has a handsome annuity from a sporting peer, who was once the favoured swain. ~168~~ From out her carriage peeps; She nods to am'rous Mrs. D-----,{6} Who bends with most sublime congee, While ruin'd-----------sleeps. Who follows 1 'tis the hopeful son Of the proud Earl of H-----------n, Who stole the parson's wife.{7} The Earl of H-----------and flame, For cabriolets she's the dame,{8} A dasher, on my life. Jack T-----1 shows his pleasant face{9}; A royal likeness here you'll trace, You'd swear he was a Guelph. See Lady Mary's U------walk,{10} And though but aide-de-camp to York, An Adonis with himself, 6 Mrs. D---------, alias Mrs. B-k-y, alias Miss Montague, the wife of poor Jem B-k-y, the greater his misfortune,--a well known Paphian queen, one of five sisters, who are all equally notorious, and whose history is well known. She is now the favoured sultana of a ci-devant banker, whose name she assumes, to the disgrace of himself and family. 7 The clerical cornuto recovered, in a crim. con. action, four thousand pounds for the loss of his frail rib, from this hopeful sprig of nobility. 8 Mrs. S------, a most voluptuous lady, the discarded chere amie of the late Lord F-1-d, said to be the best carriage woman in the park: she lies in the Earl of H------- --'s cabriolet most delightfully stretched out at full length, and in this elegant posture is driven through the park. 9 Captain T------l of the guards, whose powerful similitude to the reigning family of England is not more generally admitted than his good-humoured qualities are universally admired.
