_Poetical Tavern Signs._--Passing through Dudley the other day, I jotted
down two signs worthy, I think, of a place in "N. & Q."
No. 1. rejoices in the cognomen of the "Lame Dog" with the following
distich:
"Step in, my friend, and rest awhile,
And help the Lame Dog over the style."
No. 2., with a spirited representation of a round of beef, invites her
Majesty's subjects thus:
"If you are hungry, or adry,
Or your stomach out of order,
Their's sure relief at the 'Round of Beef,'
For both these two disorders."
