Literature

Jack of Dover A stockfish, "hake salted and dried." The Latin for a hake is merlucius, and lucius is a jack or pike. Mer, of course, means the sea, and Dover, the chief Clinque Port, is used as a synonym. Also refuse wine collected into a bottle and sold for fresh wine. "To do-over again." (See Dover.)
"Many a Jack of Dover hastow sold
That hath been twyes hot and twyes cold."
Chaucer: Canterbury Tales. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
