“My White Horse shall beat the Bear,
    And make the Angel fly,
  Shall turn the Ship quite bottom up,
  And drink the Three Cups dry.”

The Bear, Angel, Ship, and Three.  Cups, were public-houses in the neighbourhood.  He succeeded, and got their custom.

On one of the windows also is—­

  “His liquor’s good, his pot is just,
  The landlord’s poor, and cannot trust,
  For he has trusted to his sorrow,—­
  So pay to day, he’ll trust to-morrow.”

G. ST. CLAIR.

ROYAL FAVOUR.

The Prince of Orange was defeated by the French under Luxemburg, in 1677:  in attempting to rally his dispersed troops, the prince struck one of the runaways across the face with his sword.  “Rascal!” cried he, “I will set a mark on you at present, that I may hang you afterwards.”
