Her Covent Garden Ladies Entry:

Could I be made o'er this extensive globe, The sole possessor, I would leave the whole
To lie unfolded on thy panting breasts, And drink the nectar from thy balmy lips,
For in thy looks such heav'n of beauty dwells, That at one glance, dissolves the soul in love.

High sounding panegyric, says our courteous reader; but when he sees the lady he will not think it possible to pass too high a commendation on her person. She is elegantly formed, tall and genteel, and everything that is in the power of dress to improve is not wanting; she is now in good keeping by a Merchant of the City, but will receive three guineas from any other hand without much reluctance. Her eyes are a fine blue, and Speaks a language frozen hearts might thaw.
Her hair is light, of which she possesses a superabundant quantity; the fringe which shades the mother of all souls is of the same friendly hue, and mocks the most rigid pressure the most capable in the school of love can force. She has a remarkable fine leg and foot, and is well accomplished in both singing and music; though not more than nineteen years of age.
