MONKSEATON RACES.
July 1st, 1812.
BY A SPECTATOR.
Six centuries since, some say, a son of South Seaton[79],
Was mulct for a monk he to mummy had beaten;
The prior there pilfer’d the prow of a pig,
And Delaval drub’d well the pillaging prig!
In commemoration of that great event,
Each anniversary in eclat is spent:
Though landlords liege-legates are bound to obey,
