![[Vinegar Valentine] You cry your Fish so loud and shrill /](jpegs/7066.jpg)
[Vinegar Valentine] You cry your Fish so loud and shrill /Turbot, Mackarel, Plaice and Brill, / And on the women passing by, / Your leer and cast a fishy eye; / Now who on earth would ever wish / To Have a man who smells of fish.
[n.d., c.1870.]

Vinegar Valentines are rather unflattering and often insulting; some addressed to trades and professions, perhaps given to customers to their suppliers, rather than true valentines.
