This Story sufficiently shews the unnatural Intrigues of some Masculine Females, where by the falling down and largeness of the Clitoris, they have been taken for Men, as mention’d in my Description of Hermaphrodites, and are capable of every Action belonging to a Man, but that of Ejaculation.  I next insert an Intrigue between two Females more extraordinary than the former, by reason in this, Art was only employ’d, and in the other there was something of Nature in it, tho’ viciously apply’d:  I shall introduce it with several Adventures which happen’d in this Cafe before the Scene was accomplish’d, and which I doubt not will be acceptable.  In the City of Ferara, ’tis reported, there some time since liv’d two Damsels who were of reputable Descent, and their Education was equal to that of the greatest Quality in the Territories of Italy; the Name of one of them was Theodora, and of the other Amaryllis:  Theodora was the Daughter of an eminent Courtier, and in her Person most beautiful; her Shape was form’d according to the nicest Rules of Symetry; her Waste was slender, her Breasts were full and round, and for Whiteness equall’d the falling Snow; her Face was exactly compos’d, the Features strong and yet beautiful; her Cheeks more lively than the Rose and Lilly; her Eyes sparkled beyond the most shining Planets; her Teeth excell’d the best polish’d Ivory; soft as Velvet were her Lips, and redder than Vermillion; her Hand and Arm more white than Milk; her Feet small, and her Gate stately, and on her Shoulders were display’d her auborn Tresses, hanging in Ringlets to her Waste; in short, every Part that was visible invited to hidden Charms; her Looks were languishing, and her Eye-Balls large, which, perpetually rowling, cast a thousand Darts at all Beholders. Amaryllis the Daughter of a wealthy Merchant and no less admir’d for her Beauty than the lovely Theodora; she was made up of Perfections, and whomsoever she saw unguarded, she was sure to captivate:  These two Ladies were both of them cross’d in their amorous Inclinations; Theodora, before she was thirteen Years of Age, had made a powerful Conquest over the Affections of a Youth of Gallantry, his Name was Leander, and he was the eldest Son of a Nobleman of Naples; but Theodora’s Father having no regard to the Happiness of his Daughter, after Leander had made his Addresses, he forbad him his House, not approving the Circumstances or the Character of the young Gentleman; for the Father of Theodora was a mercenary Courtier, having no regard to any but such as were in their Nature Misers and sanctified Hypocrites, and Leander being a Gentleman inclin’d to Extravagancy. Leander setting a greater value upon his Education, Manners and good Nature than his Fortune, was oblig’d to desist in his Pretensions and to sink under the oppression of Avarice:  He determin’d to leave Ferara, since he was there to see his Happiness, no more, however, he resolv’d to send his Fair One, a moving Billet Doux before his Departure, which he did, and it was as follows.
