Extract from the London Courant and Westminster Chronicle14th March 1781

The “disconsolate” Perdita is a term which at present will not hold; as long as she continues to be “as pretty a bit of flesh” as any “Mycena”, with two gowns to her back, and “everything handsome about her,” with the Heir Apparent, she need not be Perdita “the disconsolate.”
