Epigram At Brownhill Inn^1

1791
Type: Epigram

At Brownhill we always get dainty good cheer,
And plenty of bacon each day in the year;
We've a' thing that's nice, and mostly in season,
But why always Bacon-come, tell me a reason?

[Footnote 1: Bacon was the name of a presumably intrusive host. The lines are
said to have "afforded much amusement."-Lang]
