Am obliged to you for I lately fent you of a Coquet who disturbed a fober Congregation in the City of • London. That Intelligence ended at 'her taking Coach, and bidding the • Driver go where he knew. I could C not leave her fo, but dogged her, as 'hard as the drove, to St. Paul's Churchyard, where there was a stop of "Coaches attending Company coming "out of the Cathedral. This gave me opportunity to hold up a Crown to her Coachman, who gave me the Signal, that he would hurry on, and 'make no haste, as you know the way is when they favour a Chase. By his many kind Blunders, driving aganft • other f other Coaches, and flipping of his 'Tackle, I could keep up with him, and lodged my fine Lady in the Parifh of St. James's. As I gueffed when 'I first saw her at Church, her business is to win Hearts and throw them away, regarding nothing but the Triumph. I have had the happiness, by tracing her through all with whom I heard the was acquainted, to find one who was intimate with a Friend of mine, and to be introduced to her "Notice. I have made fo good Ufe of my Time, as to procure from that Intimate of hers one of her Letters, which the writ to her when in the Country. This Epiftle of her own may serve to alarm the World against ' her in ordinary Life, as mine, I hope, 'did those, who shall behold her at 'Church. The Letter was written laft • Winter to the Lady who gave it me; and I doubt not but you will find it the Soul of a happy felf-loving Dame, that takes all the Admiration the can meet with, and returns 'none of it in Love to her Admi rers. 1 1 VOL.

"You fay you are afraid only of me, for "I fhall laugh at your Spoufe's Airs. I "beg of you not to fear it, for I am "too nice a Difcerner to laugh at any, "but whom moft other People think "fine Fellows; fo that your Dear may "bring you hither as foon his Horfes "are in cafe enough to appear in Town, "and you be very fafe against any Ral"lery you may apprehend from me; " for I am furrounded with Coxcombs "of my own making, who are all ridi"culous in a manner your Good-man, "I prefume, cannot exert himself. As "Men who cannot raife their Fortunes, "and are uneafie under the Incapacity "of fhining in Courts, rail at Ambiti"on; fo do aukward and infipid Wo"men, who cannot warm the Hearts "and charm the Eyes of Men, rail at "Affectation: But the that has the Joy "of feeing a Man's Heart leap into his "Eyes at beholding her, is in no pain' "for want of Esteem among the Crew "of that part of her own Sex, who "have "have no Spirit but that of Envy, and "no Language but that of Malice. I "do not in this, I hope, express my "felf infenfible of the Merit of Leodacia, who lowers her Beauty to all but "her Husband, and never spreads her Charms but to gladden him who has "a right to them: I fay, I do Honour "to those who can be Coquets, and ❝are not fuch; but I defpife all who "would be fo, and in defpair of arri "ving at it themselves, hate and vilify "all those who can. But, be that as it will, in answer to your Défire of "knowing my Hiftory: One of my "chief prefent Pleafures is in Coun ર try-Dances; and, in obedience to mě, CC as well as the Pleasure of coming up "to me with a good Grace, fhewing "themselves in their Addrefs to others ❝ in my Presence, and the like Oppor❝tunities, they are all Proficients, that σε way: And I had the Happiness of be"ing the other Night where we made "fix Couple,and every Woman's Partner "was a professed Lover of mine. The "wildeft Imagination cannot form to "it felf on any occafion, higher De "light than I acknowledge my felf to have been in all that Evening. I "chofe B 2 chofe out of my Admirers a Set of Men "who moft love me, and gave them "Partners of fuch of my own Sex who "moft envyed me. "MY way is, when any Man who " is my Admirer pretends to give him"felf Airs of Merit, as at this time a "certain Gentleman you know did, to "mortify him by favouring in his Pre"fence the most infignificant Creature "I can find. At this Ball I was led in" to the Company by pretty Mr. Fanແ fly, who, you know, is the most ob" fequious, well-fhaped, well-bred Wo"man's Man in Town. I at firft En"trance declared him my Partner if I "danced at all; which put the whole "Affembly into a Grin, as forming no "Terrors from fuch a Rival. But we "had not been long in the Room, be"fore I overheard the meritorious Gen"tleman above-mentioned fay with an "Oath, There is no Rallery in the "Thing, the certainly loves the Pup"py.
