    About this ebook

    "The Ladies Delight" is a collection of erotic poems from 1732. The book is scatological in characters but is quite obscure in a sense. The poems' subjects are not immediately recognizable since the anonymous author uses words with a double meaning to hide the direct sense of his verses, which may seem quite innocent at first view.
