good housewife) having one night, fecured a large parcel of this prog, from the box, was met on the stairs by a man servant, who was flealing to the apartment of a female friend! and as lovers fometimes meet half way; the man embraced in his arms; a D-s; inftead of his Joan, 'till the cargo of unlighted candles, fell from (some say) the tail of her G-s fimock! perhaps however, the candles were, not the only prog her G- had in view.

HAT a compound is here, of pride, avarice, and meanness! Oh for thy pencil immortal Hogarth, to draw this P―r; with all the haughtiness of a Spanifh Grandee; condescending to fell, two a penny; Right Hon. Cabbages, worthy fon of L-d Fanny! fitter for a D-h-fs, than a D-ke, whofe gender was doubtful; 'till the great naturalift difcovered there were three fexes, men, women; and H-S.

THIS
HIS Lady does not confider herself at

this time of day, as one of the fair Sex, but as a being, deeply engaged in collecting the choiceft treafures, of art and nature; in which fhe has fucceeded pretty well as fhe never refufes to buy a good bargain; nor to accept a generous offer; fhe fhould remember however, that to GIVE, is more honourable, than to receive: among her curiofities, the greateft, in our opinion is, an original miniature Picture of Queen Elizabeth, which reprefents that artful cunning woman, fitting up in her bed; fhe has a carrotty pate, and a turnip complection! and as void of every female charm, as fhe was of every private virtue.

Of L-y G-f—r.

THIS very fimple woman, is fuppos'd to have had a partiality to a former deceafed D-e, and therefore, could not condefcend to deal out her favors to any, but men of

R

R-1 birth, if that was the cafe, there can be no doubt, but fhe made the firft overtures, which lately brought fo much fhame upon herself, and family; and fo much cruel and indecent abuse; on a young P—e, for falling into a fnare, that every young man, between twenty and thirty years of age, is liable to. The feduction of a married woman is certainly a great offence; but being feducted By a married woman; alters the case considerably.

Of Benj. A-11-n, Efq;

A Gentleman of very confiderable abilities, and we think; though we never heard him speak in public; capable of making some figure in that Houfe, of which he is a worthy Member, we think there is not, nor can be, a more refpectable character than a M-r of P-t, though he walks on foot to the House; who votes fometimes with, and fometimes against the Measures of Ad--n; according to the dictates of his own conscience, and judgment; and this we really believe is the just character, of the M-r for B-g-w-r.

Of

Of C-e P-ce, Efq;

WE know not, among all our acquaintance, a more agreeable companion than Mr. P-ce; nor a more fingular character than Sir Richard C-e his Hertfordshire Uncle, we often lament, that we cannot breakfast on a bullock's heart with the latter, for the chance of meeting with the former.

Of T-s B-wn, Efq;
The Land Tafler.

HE was the fon of a drunken Blacksmith; and as he lay fleeping under a bulk fomewhere in a street in London, a Gentleman tumbled over him! Tom roared luftily! the humane Gentleman, took him home to his houfe, cloathed and fed him! and Tom has continued ever fince to roar, and bully all the world. But Tom, is no poet!

Of General M-k-n.

AN infamous Scotchman, and a more J-s S at W, joined iffue to rob this

Gentleman

Gentleman, of the Laurels he had reaped abroad: they failed in their wicked attempt, but this is no reason why the G-l should put on an air of confequential importance; and Lord it over every body elfe, before he has got the Title.

Of G-1 Sir P-p H--d.

WHILE he had nothing to spend, but his military pay, he was what the world called, an honest, generous fellow, and a good companion we have often known a good fortune, fpoil a good man.

Of Mr. S-t W--r.

AW-h J-e is not he? of very meddling abilities, fome low humour, with an itch, to be meddling on both fides, in which fingle inftance only, he resembles Sir Bull-face.
