London, On Thursday evening the 16th July last, some
Gentlemen, who supped and spent a few agreeable hours at a
public-house in Fleet-street, upon calling for the bill of
expenses, had the following given them by the Landlord, viz.
For geese, the finest ever seen
By Duke or Duchess, King or Queen, 6s 6d
Fornice green peas, so plump and pretty,
Better ne'er eat in London city, 3s 9d
For charming gravy made to please,
With butter, bread, and Cheshire cheese, 3s 0d
For honest porter, brown and stout,
That cheers the heart, and cures the gout, 1s 5d
For unadulterated wine,
Genuine! noble! pure! divine -- 6s 6d
For my Nan's punch, (and Nan known how
To make good punch, you all allow,) 7s 0d
For juniper, most clear and fine,
That looks, and almost tastes, like wine, 14d
For choice tobacco, undefil'd,
Harmless and pleasant, soft and mild, -- 2d
Total 1L 9s 8d
