A DAY AT TUNBRIDGE WELLS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
TUNBRIDGE LIFE
1.
" All you that wish the world to learn, To Tunbridge Wells repair-a, Where you will see more in a day Than elsewhere in a year-a. Not that our numbers do surpass What you may elsewhere find-a, But here no mortals you can meet An hour in a mind-a. |
