Death was more than a match for the Turk. There was no need to

    The Author of this column thought himself
inured to the Licentious Behavior commonly displayed by Persons
attending those most Iniquitous of Entertainments, Masked Balls at
the Pantheon Theatre. However, at Yesterday’s Ball, even this
Author was shocked by the behavior of a certain Lady D— of Kent, a
Widow, who was seen sporting with Lord A—, a Nobleman known for his
Promiscuous Inclinations. It is this Author’s regretful conviction
that Lady D— will continue to welcome Solace for her Loneliness
from such Gentlemen who prefer Beauty and a Liberal Character to
Modesty and Virtue.
