    He who has not been at a tavern knows not what a paradise it is.
    O holy tavern! O miraculous tavern!--holy, because no carking
    cares are there, nor weariness, nor pain; and miraculous, because
    of the spits, which themselves turn round and round!

Along the varying road of life,
In calm content, in toil or strife,
At morn or noon, by night or day,
As time conducts him on his way,
How oft doth man, by care oppressed,
Find in an Inn a place of rest.

Whoe'er has travel'd life's dull round,
Where'er his stages may have been,
May sigh to think he still has found
The warmest welcome, at an inn.

Where on each face he sees a smile?

He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was
conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to him the
road, where he also espied an Inn. Sancho positively maintained
it was an Inn, and his master that it was a castle; and the
dispute lasted so long that they arrived there before it was
determined.

What Elysium have ye known,
Happy field or mossy cavern,
Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern?
