Part 7

This merry, little lively tit appears to be about sixteen, and is never to be met without a smile upon her countenance, and a frisky song at her tongue's end; she is very short, a brunette in com- plexion, with a lustfully sparkling eye, and jetty ringlets down her back. The sis- ter hills, with their bewitching coral pinnacles, are irresistibly firm, and speak their silent language very forcibly to the heart. The grove beneath, shading the font of life, is drest in sable, and se- cures the _internal mansion_ from any sud- den _attack_. She is generally very expe- ditious in dying, therefore we would ad- vise her antagonist to push the warm con- test

( 138 )

est with agility, or it will not be a _dead_ heat; she is a very willing and amorous bedfellow, never against repetition, and such a good natured, and good tem- per'd creature, that she seems to say to every one,

With thee secur'd,--I'd smile at fortune's frowns, And all her threats defy,--nor court her smiles.

You gaulky steeple, you stalking stag, Your husband must come from Brobdignag.

It is a pity that so noble a piece could not be preserved solely for the use of his Majesty's Grenadiers; she is more than six foot; she is now about twenty-five, possesses an elegance in her person, (we wish we could pay the same compliment to her actions) light hair and eyes, which are continually lighted up by the all pow- erful brandy bottle; as she excells in the height of stature so is she the height of good nature, for she never refuses any gentleman

( 139 )

gentleman her favors, that has any mo- ney in his pocket; she is surely too the height of vulgarity, for she will come her _eyes and limbs_, with any lady from Billingsgate, or Jack tar from Wapping; but her greatest fault, and what makes more disgusting her other imperfections, is her violent attachment to drinking; she generally contrives to pin her basket completely by nine o'clock; then she swears most abominably, and is as great a proficient in barefaced indecency, as Messalina of antient Rome. We there- fore set her up as a beacon; in spite of all, when she pleases, she can be a good companion, and speaks the English lan- guage remarkably well; she is never de- nied to any one, except Mr. G. a watch- maker, in the city, should be engaged with her, he being her particular friend.

Mrs. Charlotte F--ne, No. 41, _King Street, Soho_.

To tell the beautie's of the place, How weak is human tongue; The noble fringes which it grace, In golden ringlets hung.

Charlotte received a good education, and was once far above the perambu- lating

[ 140 ]

lating class of nymphs, and might, per- haps, have remained so, had not her violent attachment to the curs'd buckle and belt society, rendered her disgusting in the eyes of all her friends; Mr. G--bl--t, brother to a tallow chandler, of Carnaby-Market, took particular no- tice of her, and removed her once from her hated crew, allowed her a tolerable provision, and would have continued her friend, had not her rage for the old society made him forfeit his esteem. She is now rather in the wane, having seen at least twenty-eight summers, tall, and very well proportioned; her complexion is but indifferent, but, being a native of Germany, is not to be wondered at; she speaks French also, but we cannot get her to confess she has been ten years on the town, unless you pay her a _guinea fee_ for confessing.

She smil'd, and gave a kiss might Jove disarm, And from his hand the brandished thunder charm.

If this good natured willing girl should chance to be engaged herself, she will with

[ 141 ]

with the greatest pleasure provide her gentleman with another companion; she is a genteel woman, and a very chearful companion, completely mis- tress of the sport, and can _turn_ and _twist_ in all the enchanting folds of love, and press you to her breast,

In all the extatic raptures of a lover;

will enjoy, or seem to enjoy, every _high toned_ sensation; will bend eagerly to meet the _succulent shower_ of b1iss, and repeat the amorous content as frequently as you please, being first _convinced_ that you will make her a guinea richer in the morning.

Mrs. Gr--ff--n , _near Union-Stairs, Wapping_.

This is a comely woman, about forty, and boasts she can give more pleasure than a dozen raw girls. Indeed she has acquired great experience, in the course of twenty years study, in _natural philpsophy_, in the university of Portsmouth, where she was long the ornament of the back of the point. She is perfectly mistress of

[ 142 ]

of all her actions, and can proceed re- gularly from the dart of her tongue, and the soft tickle of her hand, to the exta- tic squeeze of her thighs; the enchanting twine of her legs; the elaborate suction of her lower lips, and the melting flood of delight, with which she constantly bedews the _mossy root_ of the tree of _life_, and washes the testimonies of man- hood; tho' past her meridian, she is still agreeable; her eyes are black as well as her hair, of which she has an abundance both above and below, her breasts are large but not flabby, and her skin is fair. Five shillings is her price, and she earns it with great industry: but if her lover seems capable of prolonging the _delicious banquet_, and is remarkably well provided, she will abate _weight_ for _inches_. Her chief and best customers are sea officers, whom she particularly likes, as they do not stay long at home, and always return fraught with love and presents.

Mademoiselle

( 143 )

Madamoiselle Du Par, No. 19, _Carlisle- street, Soho_.

Dieux; qu'a t-il vu, que d'appas enchanteurs! Sous un bosquet, d'ou coule une fountaine, Ou chaque mois le doux printemps ramene; Pour nos plaisirs, l'abondance & les fleurs, It voit un trou, le joli precipice; Ce n'etact point le trou de saint Patrice.

This lady has lately been a teacher in a French boarding fchool, but taking a li- king to a young Clergyman in the neigh- bourhood, she made a conjunction of calvanism with the established church, and he propagated the gospel in her _fo- reign parts_ with great assiduity; but her immoderate love of the sport, after having once tasted the power of the _Bri- tish constitution_, speedily brought her to our market, here to her great discredit and loss she has form'd a connection with a boy by the name of N--wb--y, brother to the noted attorney well known as a flash man among the ladies, and one whose principles will not bear the strictest scrutiny. She is a tall, genteel looking figure,

( 144 )

figure, speaks English pretty well, fine dark eyes and hair, a tolerable complex- ion, thanks to Mr. Warren, who oc- casionally fills up those indentions the small pox has been busy in making, and makes her a desirable piece enough. Her low countries are said to be of am- ple dimensions, and she is so publick spir- ited, that she makes no distinction of persons or nations; but will say, _je vous remercie_, to any man for the smallest piece of gold.

Miss W--rn--r, at Mrs. Wood's, _Lisle- Street, Leicester-Fields_.

Embrace me close, and join thy lips to mine, There's no security in other joys; Here happiness is rivetted alone; Here nothing fades, nothing decays, the fweets Immortal are, and never cease to spring.

This is a fine girl, lately come from Cambridge, and just dancing into her twentieth year, we have known her but a very little time, but from her com- plexion, which is bordering on the brunette,

( 145 )

brunette; her lively hazel eyes, and the lovely pouting orbs of nature, we can venture to affirm her no bad sportswoman; the _grove beneath_ is beautifully border'd by a _sable fringe_, the _ruby portals_ of which when unfolded, display the _coral tipt janitor_ strutting in all the luscious mess of full fraught womanhood, and will safely conduct the well erected engine into the harbour of delight, and bath him, in the choicest sweets of nature, for two pounds, two shillings.

We

( 146 )

WE must now bid adieu to our cour- teous reader, and wish him every success that youth, health, love, and wine can possibly inspire him with; hoping, at the same time, that they will throw a friendly veil over all the unavoidable errors that may have happen'd in this work, and excuse that disagreeable tautology, which, for want of other words, we are necessi- tated to make, and not to be displeas'd if they find the same ladies in this list that appear'd before in other names; for, as their residence is chang'd as often as their names, it is almoft impossible but some such mistakes must happen; and hope that the attention that is now paid to the procuring the best and most respectable, will wipe off every other blot.

We likewise take leave of the ladies, and are particularly happy to think that what was formerly seen in the eyes of _our_ world a disgrace, is now considered pleasing, delightful, and honourable.
