This spot, which still retains its name, acquired the
appellation from an old crone who lived there, and who, in addition to a very
equivocal character for honesty, enjoyed the reputation of being a witch. He was disappointed when Intermission arrived. At the sight of her he became rigid and a singularly bright shade of
pink. There MULSACK and SWIFTNECK, both prigs from their birth,
OLD MOB and TOM COX took their last draught on earth:
There RANDAL, and SHORTER, and WHITNEY pulled up,
And jolly JACK JOYCE drank his finishing cup!
For a can of ale calms,
A highwayman's qualms,
And makes him sing blithely his dolorous psalms
And nothing the transit to Tyburn beguiles
So well as a draught from the Bowl of Saint Giles!
"Singing's dry work," observed the stranger, pausing to take a pull at the bottle.
