  5. I The Coffee-House The Rules and Orders of the Coffee-House Enter Sirs freely, But first if you please, Peruse our Civil-Orders, which are these. First, Gentry, Tradesmen, all are welcome hither, And may without Affront sit down Together: Pre-eminence of Place, none here should Mind, But take the next fit Seat that he can find: Nor need any, if Finer Persons come, Rise up for to assigne to them his Room; To limit mensexpence, we think not fair, But let him forfeit Twelve-pence that shall Swear: He that shall any Quarrel here begin, Shall give each Man a Dish t’Atone the Sin; And so shall He, whose Complements extend So far to drink in COFFEE to his friend;

  6. Let Noise of loud Disputes be quite forborn, No Maudlin Lovers here in Corners Mourn, But all be Brisk, and Talk, but not too much On Sacred things, Let none Presume to touch, Nor profane Scripture, or sawcily wrong Affairs of State with an Irreverent Tongue: Let Mirth be Innocent, and each Man see, That all his Jests without Reflection be; To keep the House more Quiet, and from Blame, We Banish hence Cards, Dice, and every game: Nor can allow of Wagers, that Exceed Five shillings, which oft-times much Trouble Breed; Let all that’s lost, or forfeited, be spent In such Good Liquour as the House does vent, And Customers endeavour to their Powers, For to observe still seasonable Howers. Lastly let each Man what he calls for Pay, And so you’re welcome to come every day. • (London: Paul Greenwod, 1674)
