But above all, record the female race,
The reigning Toasts and beauties of the place,
Whether in Bullock's-lane they chuse to rove,
Or Kidney-hall, the soft retreat of love,
Their shining virtues and their charms rehearse,
And vindicate their names from Strephon's verse.
 

The Drury-Lane of Oxford.

A publick house near Oxford, dedicated to love.

A scandalous libel upon the Oxford toasts.
