W.G.C.


On the Dorchester road from Sturminster, is a public-house called the "King's Stag," its sign displays a stag with a gold collar around its neck, and underneath are the following lines:—

When Julius Caesar landed here,

I was then a little deer;

When Julius Caesar reigned king,

Round my neck he put this ring;

Whoever shall me overtake,

Spare my life for Caesar's sake.
