![[1790 Edition] Miss Charlotte B-lm-r, 31 Wardour Street, Soho.
-----
She wants no art to give her greater charms, And sure ‘tis heaven to die in her arms.
This lady is tall and rather lusty, she is remarkably fair, which we take to be the gift of nature, as we believe she is an utter stranger to pearl powder. Her eyes are a fine blue, and her lovely tresses of a sandy cast; in a word, she is a bewitching girl when she does not laugh, and by pursuing Lord Chesterfield's rule, of never going beyond a smile or a simper, she may always be sure of conquest; but when she unguardedly gives loose to a hearty laugh, she destroys all the force of her charms, by too visibly displaying she has not in time applied to Ruspini for his professional aid. She is about twenty three, and has been training for amorous delights about three years. It is said she was brought up a clear starcher, and it must be owned she seems still to retain a proper knowledge of that vocation, as few ladies of that profession are better qualified to stiffen and get up small things to the highest perfection. One pound one is the usual fee of this female chamber counsel; but two pieces will afford her much greater satisfaction, and give her such a flow of spirits, as induce her to make uncommon exertions, which have produced incredible effects. Lord V--- often visits her, and though his reputation has long since been established in the annals of amorous gratification, Miss B—r by dint of extraordinary abilities, often makes him believe he affords her the highest gratification. This lady was lately in keeping by a gentleman of the name she now assumes, who left her merely from being so immoderately inclined to extravagance.
