The Miter in Cheape, and then the Bull Head,

And many like places that make noses red;

The Bores Head in old Fish-street, three Cranes in the Vintree,

And now of late St. Martin's in the Sentree;

The Wind-mill in Lothburry, the Ship at the Exchange,

King's Head in New Fish-streete, where roysters do range;

The Mermaid in Cornhill, Red Lion in the Strand,

Three Tuns Newgate Market, Old Fish-street at the Swan."
