Launceston.

Not far from Kilpeck, Herefordshire, I have seen a wayside public-house,

exhibiting the sign of the "Oak," under which is the following couplet:

"I am an oak, and not a yew,

So drink a cup with good John Pugh."

{569} As "good John Pugh" sold excellent cider, I did not repent complying

with the injunction.
