And yet at last it grew so very common,

’Twas not admir’d, it seemed strange to no man.

Then from the Temple there was built a street,

Made old and young, and all admire that see’t;

Which street to Southwark reached. There might you see

Wonders! if you did love variety,

There was roast beef, and gamon to be sold,

But at so dear a rate, I dare be bold

To say, ’twas never sold so on the shore,

Nor on the Thames, in haste, be any more.
