Miss Eliza Sm-th

This offspring of love is never a better piece, than at the time our annual publication makes its appearance; being, in the strictest sense of the word, a true winter's piece. During the summer season, her temper, which is naturally hot, and her habit and disposition, which are at all times lazy, added to a superabundant quantity of fat, makes her not a very inviting bed-fellow; nevertheless she found out the means of pleasing a certain foolish painter, who, despairing of ever having it in his power again to marry so nice and tempting a girl, actually agreed to the consummation of the nuptials, and the happy day was fixed; but from a few hints given him from his more sensible acquaintance, he found a mode of declaring off, which was, by a pretended jealousy of a certain noted freizure, Mr. Cx by name, and giving over all future female connection, in its stead has substituted a fine gelding, and sports his figure as a man of fashion. Miss Sm—th is now about one and twenty, fair hair, fine blue eyes, rather short and fat, and too lazy to make a good summer bed-fellow. However, if any of our readers can dispense with that inconvenience, and possesses a superfluous half guinea, he will, in other respects, find her a tolerable piece.
