At the Great Gates in Red-Bull-Yard, between St. John's-Street and Clerkenwel-Green

There, on that ancient venerable Ground,
Where Shakespear in Heroick Buskins trod,
Within a Good Old Fabrick, may be found
Celestial Liquors fit to charm a God.
Rich Nectar, Royal Punch, and Home-brew'd Ale,
Such as our Fathers drank in Times of Yore,
When Beef, Fat Bacon, and salubrious Cale,
Were Food and Physick for the Rich and Poor.
Commodious Rooms, with Hamstead Air supply'd;
Obliging Usage for each civil Guest;
A Garden Spot, whose fertile Banks provide
Refreshing Salads to delight the Taste.
No Bacchanalian Ensigns at the Door,
To give the Publick notice, are display'd,
Yet Friends are welcome: We shall say no more,
But hope their Friendship will promote a Trade.
FINIS.
