There’s Drugger. Abel Drugger, that’s his sign,
And here’s now mystery and hieroglyphic.
A motto of the Bacon family in Somersetshire has an ingenious rebus,—
ProBa-conScientia;
the capitals, thus placed, giving it the double reading, Proba conscientia, and Pro Bacon Scientia.
WHAT IS IT?
A Headless man had a letter to write;
’Twas read by one who lost his Sight;
The Dumb repeated it word for word,
And he was Deaf who listened and heard.
