OXEN OF THE SUN
"I know of a marchand de capotes, Monsieur Poyntz, from whom I can have for a livre as snug a cloak of the French fashion as ever kept a lady from wetting." (U14.776)
French Capote = car hood, hooded cloak, condom. This cartoon plays on the ambiguity:
Jarvey: Should the capote be on?
Lady (offended): No thanks! We don't use any!
