316 SHAKESPEARE’S [ TOBACCO. 
Tue Siconp Britt :—If this city or suburbs of the same 
do afford any young gentleman of the first, second or third 
head, more or less, whose friends are but lately deceased, 
and whose lands are but new come into his hands, that (to 
be as exactly qualified as the best of our ordinary gallants 
are) is affected to entertain the most gentleman-like use of 
Tobacco: as first, to give it the most exquisite perfume : 
then, to know all the delicate sweet forms for the assumption 
of it: as also the rare corollary and practice of the Cuban 
ebullition, Euripus and whiff; which he shall receive, or 
take in here at London, and evaporate at Uxbridge, or 
farther, if it please him—If there be any such generous 
spirit, that is truly enamoured of these good faculties— 
may it please him but by a note of his hand to specify 
the place or Ordinary, where he uses to eat and lie,—and 
most sweet attendance with Tobacco and pipes of the best 
sort shall be ministered.

of smoke in the afternoon. i

Your pipe bears the true form of a woodcock’s head.

Here’s a clean gentleman to receive.

Scattergood: Please you to impart your smoke? 
Longfield: Very willingly, sir. 
Scattergood: In good faith, a pipe of excellent vapour.
