Be it known to all honest men & bonny
Laſses that the word Scarlet when it is given as a sentiment
(which is often done in a Company of College-Gentlemen)
no longer repreſents any other word beginning with a C. & ending with a T., as
the word Claret for example, neither does it mean the Whore of Babylon
nor the Military nor the Maiden-head; neither does it signify
a leſson which is partly white and [Paſsionately] Black without
the smallest resemblance to red, but henceforth and forever
shall signify a Cox-comb, and every man however ſober may
drink to the future with a clean Conscience, even a
tutor without being guilty of henpecking his Superior Tutors
who also may happen to be a man of Italic Paſsions xxx
Beware of the man says honest & other
hearted Malbranche, who blackens o'er his [¿] and grows
pale in his paſsions, is the Moral of this Advertisment.
