An advertisement with a reward.
Run away from their master at Rome, in the dog-days of last
August, and since secreted in France, two young lurchers, of
the right Italian breed, and being of a black tan colour,
with sharp noses, and hanging ears, have been taken abroad
for K. Charles the second's breed. but a B---h from Italy
unfortunately broke the strain in 81, by admitting into the
kennel a base mongrel of another litter.----They go a full
dog trot at night, for fear of being catch'd. They answer
to the names of Hector and Plunder; and will jump and dance
at the sound of the French horn, being used to that note by
an old dogmaster at Paris; they prick up their ears also at
the musick of a Lancashire hornpipe.
This is to give notice, that whoever can secure this couple
of curs and bring them back, either to the Pope's Head at
Rome, near St. Peter's Church , or to the Thistle at
Edinburgh, or to the Three Kings at Brentford, or rather to
the Sign of the Axe on Tower Hill, shall have the reward of
thirteen pence half penny, or any reward below a crown, and
the thanks of all the powers of Europe, except France,
Spain, and the Pope.----N.B. They have each a French collar
on, stampt with the Father's arms, a warming pan and the
flour de luce, with this inscription, We are but young
puppies of Tencin's pack.
Beware of them, for they have got a smack of the Scotch
mange, and those that are bit by them, run mad and are
call'd JacoBITES.
