Can any of your readers elucidate this sign of the "Dog's-head-in-the Pot?"
C. H. Cooper.
Cambridge, May 24. 1850.
"Poor Allinda's growing old."—Charles II., to vex the Duchess of Cleveland, caused Will Legge to sing to her—
"Poor Allinda's growing old,
Those charms are now no more."
(See Lord Dartmouth's note in Burnet, vol. i. p. 458. ed. 1823.) Let me ask, through "Notes and Queries," Dr. Rimbault, Mr. Chappell, or any readers, where are these verses to be found?
P. Cunningham.
