Neque nôrunt unde vena,
An à sale vel arena.

Veni Clapham, unus horum
Qui accivit voce forum,
Prima hora ut me visit,
Mihi Halecem promisit;
Halecem mihi, calicem ei,
Pignus in amoris mei.

Veni Ingleton*, ubi degi
Donec fabri caput fregi,
Quo peracto, in me ruunt
Mulieres, saxa pluunt,
Queis perculsus, timens lædi,
His posteriora dedi.

Veni Lonesdale, ubi cernam Aulam factam in tabernam; Nitidæ portæ, nivei muri, Cyathi pleni, paucæ curæ;

* Pirgus inest fano, fanum sub acumine collis, Collis ab elatis actus et actus auctus aquis.

Neither know the learn'd that travel,
What procures it, salt or gravel.

Thence to Clapham, drawing nigher, He that was the common cryer,

To a breakfast of one herring

Did invite me first appearing.
Herring he, I drink bestow'd,
Pledges of the love we ow'd.

Thence to Ingleton *, where I liv'd
Till I brake a blacksmith's head,
Which done, women rush'd in on me,
Stones like hail shower'd down upon me:
Whence astonish'd, fearing harming,
Leave I took, but gave no warning.

Thence to Lonesdale, where I view'd An hall, which like a tavern shew'd; Neat gates, white walls, nought was sparing, Pots brimfull, no thought of caring:

*The poor man's box is in the temple set, Church under hill, the hill by waters bet.

Edunt, bibunt, ludunt, rident,
Cura dignum nihil vident.

Veni Cowbrow, vaccæ collem, Ubi hospitem tetigi mollem, Pingui ventre, læto vultu, Tremulo cursu, trepido cultu, Uti bibula titubat vates, Donec cecidit supra nates.

Veni Natland, eo ventus,

Eboraci qui contemptus
Colligit, hospitium dedit,
Mecum bibit, mecum edit,
Semipotus, sicut usi,

Circa May-pole plebe lusi.

Veni Kirkland, veni Kendall, Omnia hausi, vulgo Spend-all, Nocte, die, peramicè

Bibi potum mistum pice.
"Tege caput, tende manum,
"Manu caput fit insanum."
