Her Covent Garden Ladies Entry:

As decent a lass as you e'er sixt your eyes on;
But what is one man's meat is another man's poison.

The lovely female before us is of middling stature, though rather pale and delicate, which might easily be remedied by a little of Warren's best carmine, which we recommend to her. Her hair is auburn, and her eyes of a beautiful dark cast. Polly is about 17 years of age, and has been upon the town about nine months. She has some very reputable friends who pay her liberally, and enable her to make a very elegant appearance. Amongst the foremost of her customers is a certain Quaker linen draper, who supplies her not only with cash, but also a great number of good gowns, and other articles in his profession. She considers him as worth, at least, two hundred a year, which, added to the fees of her occasional visiters who constantly present her with, at least a couple of guineas, afford her a very genteel subsistence; and few ladies in her class of life make a more elegant appearance.
