"Long have I travers'd both far and near,
On purpose to find out good beer,
And at last I found it here."
Ruby.
At a small way-side beer-shop in the parish of Werrington in the county of Devon, a few years since there was the following sign:
"The Lengdon Inn, kept by M. Vuller.
Gentlemen walk in and sit at your aise,
Pay for what you call for, and call for what you plaise;
As tristing of late has been to my sorrow,
Pay me to-day and I'll tristee to-morrow."
