Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

IX. View now the Man who feigns a PATRIOT’s Life, Yet fructified on a poor Negro’s Wife. The Fact most plain and flagrant now appears That he had used her more than Twenty Years. In youthful Days one Doxy would not do, He kept in Pay both PEG and CHLOE too. But when grown old (tho’ she did beg and crave) He sold her at Jamaica for a Slave: And now alas! this quondam MAID of HONOUR Has none but Quaco got to lie upon her; But had she staid, then would Mulatto SAM Have learnt from his black Honourable DAM, He’d sprung from Loins of Judge, and Soup of Clam. But what does Will for Want of Chlo and Peg?— He occupies the Velvet Widow Greg.— All his Designs concenter in himself For building Castles and amassing Pelf. And can you then imagine, stupid Fools!

If so; burn Incense to your Idol God, Think yourselves blest, if he vouchsafe a Nod;
