A History of the Cries of London, Ancient and Modern

by Charles Hindley

Ripe Strawberries! a groat a pottle, to-day, Only a groat a pottle, is what I say!

Ripe and Fresh Strawberries.

Ripe strawberries, a full pottle for a groat! They are all ripe and fresh gathered, as you see, No finer for money I believe can be bought; So I pray you come and deal fairly with me.

Any Knives, or Scissors to grind, to-day? Big Knives, or little Knives, or Scissors to grind, O!

Any Knives or Scissors to Grind.

Any Knives or Scissors to grind, to-day? I’ll do them well and there’s little to pay; Any Knives or Scissors to grind, to-day? If you’ve nothing for me, I’ll go away.
