_Poetical Tavern Signs_ (Vol. viii., p. 242.).--I would add the following
sign-inscription to those noted by R. C. WARDE. It was on the walls of a
tavern half-way up Richmond Hill, three miles south of Douglas, Isle of
Man, kept by a man of the name of Abraham Lowe:
"I'm Abraham Lowe, and half-way up the hill,
If I were higher up, what's funnier still,
I should be belowe. Come in and take your fill
Of porter, ale, wine, spirits, what you will.
Step in, my friend, I pray no farther go;
My prices, like myself, are always low."
