On the Basingstoke road, near Reading, England:—
This is the Whitley Grenadier,
A noted house for famous beer.
My friend, if you should chance to call,
Beware and get not drunk withal;
Let moderation be your guide,
It answers well whene’er ’tis tried.
Then use but not abuse strong beer,
And don’t forget the Grenadier.
