EPIGRAM,
To the Landlord of the Orkney Arms, at Maiden-head, near Bray.
I wonder, Friend March, you, who live so near Bray,
Should not set up the sign of the Vicar:
Tho' it might be an odd one, you cannot but say
It must needs be a sign of good liquor!
Should not set up the sign of the Vicar:
Tho' it might be an odd one, you cannot but say
It must needs be a sign of good liquor!
ANSWER.
Should I set up the sign of the Vicar, I doubtMy drift might be misunderstood:
Who'd believe that the Vicar would dangle without,
If within doors the liquor was good?
