Her Covent Garden Ladies Entry:
Give me a life of luscious love,
Free from a husband's rig'rous sway,
Thro’ ev'ry scene of bliss to rove,
And ne'er be ty'd to curs'd obey.
This genuine daughter of mirth and jollity is a native of Plymouth, good natural parts, improved by a genteel education, make her quite the chatty, witty, and agreeable companion; she passed the “spring tide of life” without much of “the fuel of love”; and, much against her inclination, tied the nuptial knot at the ripe age of nineteen; enjoyed for some time a kind of negative happiness, as her feelings would never permit her to return her husband an equal share of fondness; he seemed to love her to distraction, which not only served to entirely root out the small affection that once had taken place, but brought on an entire contempt and hate, and without much hesitation she was easily prevailed on to leave her fond spouse, and taste the sweets of love blended with variety; as such she first made her appearance in public life, young, gay, and truly amorous; she lived for some time in public violation of every ecclesiastical law, and gave a loose to the natural bent of her inclination, till the too much enamoured spouse, tired of celibacy, and still possessing the warmth of the blind god, by diligent search and enquiries found her place of residence, and removed her, vi et armis, to her native spot.
After having opened a breach into the wide field of life and love, the mind very seldom recovers its former coolness and serenity, particularly where there is a natural pre disposition to love and pleasure, in our young heroine's young breast it operated in a very powerful manner, and she soon found means to elude the vigilance of her keeper, and flew again on the dear wings of joy and liberty to the grand mart of pleasure. A second, and, we have heard, a third time did he pursue the fair fugitive, and bore her away in triumph. At length he seems to have got the better of his violent fits of love, and suffers her to pursue her own inclinations unmolested. It is new about six weeks since her last elopement; nor does she expect her dear cornutus will hazard another search, as the sting of Cupid's dart seems nearly blunted.
She has been a great favourite of a certain great orator, high in opposition, but her partiality for a box keeper in Drury Lane Theatre will not allow her to have more favourites than one. It is her interest to keep in with the box keeper, as she now can visit the side boxes every night cheap. Miss J---n is a remarkable genteel girl, with a beautiful neck and chest, and most elegantly moulded breasts ; her eyes, which are a fine blue, are wonderfully piercing and expressive; and tune is just dancing her into the 20th year; she is ever lively, merry, and chearful; and, in bed, will give you such convincing proofs of her attachment to love's game, that if you leave one guinea behind, you will certainly be tempted to renew your visit. A gentleman of Swallow Street, has of late visited this lady so often, that it is generally believed he is now her best friend, especially as she has taken his name.
