An Advertisement with a Reward. Run away from their master
at Rome, in the dog-days of last August, and since secreted
into France, two young Lurchers, of the right Italian breed,
and being of a black tan-colour, with sharp noses, long
claws, and hanging ears, have been taken abroad for K.
Charles the Second's breed, but a b--h from Italy broke the
strain in 81, by admitting into the kennel a base mongrel of
another litter. -- They are supposed to be upon the hunt
for prey in the North. They go a full dog trop 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 horne-pipe.
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, or to St. Peter's Church or to the Cardinal's
Cap at Versailles, or to the King's Arms at Newcastle, or to
the Thistle at Edinburgh, or to the Three King's 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 Tenein'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 Jaco Bites.
