TAVERN EXPERIENCE.
I went to the sign of the Cat and Fiddle,
Whereat they did me grossly diddle:
I went to the Commercial Inn,
Where they well nigh stripped me to the skin:
I went to the Manchester Business House,
And equally there I found them chouse.
I went to the Coffee-House and Tavern,
Which turned out a regular robbers' cavern:
I went to the Family Hotel,
And they pillaged and plundered me there as well:
I went to the Recreative ditto,
My Stars and Garters!—wasn't I bit—oh!
