The Ladies Delight - Anonymous - Platanus Publishing

“As all Infants, especially of the Female Sex, are much delighted with Fruit, so as their Years and other Appetites increase, no Wonder if that increases too. Both Men and Beasts have some-thing or another, for which they are esteem’d; so ye being in a particular manner Happy in this Talent, may securely laugh, while ye daily grow in the Ladies Favour, and spread your Branches over all the Kingdom: Many a hopeful Stick of Wood has been produc’d by this glorious Tree, who after they had piss’d their Estates against the Wall (as the good Housewives term it) have by the Strength of true Hibernian Prowess rais’d themselves to the Favour of some fair Virtuoso, and being by her plac’d in a HOT-BED, have been restor’d to their pristine Strength, and flourish’d again; and like true Heroes, not envying the busy World, have been content to spend the remainder of their Days in an obscure Nook of the World.”
