Murderous Murmurings at Maidenhead

Two gents
An' a ladye
At the Hundred of Hoo Alehouse
On the dank, dreary banks of the Thamesis
With regards to an old nagging Nemesis
Returning from abroad
Conjurin' up some long lost tale
Only misdemeanors I hears 'em detail
Still
They be settin' 'im up for to kill
Puts a poor soul to wonderin'
'Tis well 'tis the wiser forgotten
"Another tin o' gin over 'ere!"
(Now where be that pot to piss in. . .)

~ Ailith Sickley (1760)
