_With happier Fate, and kinder Care,
These_ Nymphs _by_ Turns _do reign,
While still the_ Falling, _does prepare
The Rising, to sustain_.

_The Joys of either Sex in Love;
In each of them we read,
Successive each, to each does prove,
Fierce Youth and yielding Maid_.

_Intrigues of Hermaphrodites and Masculine Females_.
The hotter the Climate, the stronger are the Inclinations to Venery.
When I was formerly in _Italy_; there happened a notable Adventure in
the Neighbourhood of _Rome_, between a certain Lady call'd _Margureta_,
one of a noble Family in the Papal Dominions, and a Lady of _France_,
whose Name was _Barbarissa_: These two Females were in their Statures
very near equal to the largest siz'd Male; they had full and rough
Faces, large Shoulders, Hands and Feet; and but slender Hips, and small
breasts: In short, they resembled Men in all respects, but their
Dresses, their Gates and Voices, and indeed they were suspected to be
Hermaphrodites. These Ladies, I am inform'd, paid frequent Visits to
each other, and 'twas always observ'd, that no Body was admitted to
their splendid Entertainments, which heighten'd the Curiosity of a
Servant in the Family of _Margureta_, to attempt a Discovery of their
Intrigues, they always locking themselves in, the moment they had
dispatch'd their Suppers: In order to this, on a Time, this Servant,
call'd _Nicolini_, with a piercing Instrument of Iron, and the
Assistance of an Artificer, ingeniously made a Communication for the
Sight into the next Room, by working a small Hole through the Wainscot,
opposite to the Bed, in the Chamber wherein the two Masculine Ladies
accustom'd to solace themselves.
