    Now musing o'er the changing scene
    Farmers behind the tavern screen
    Collect; with elbows idly press'd
    On hob, reclines the corner's guest,
    Reading the news to mark again
    The bankrupt lists or price of grain.
    Puffing the while his red-tipt pipe
    He dreams o'er troubles nearly ripe,
    Yet, winter's leisure to regale,
    Hopes better times, and sips his ale.

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.

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.

The atmosphere
Breathes rest and comfort and the many chambers
Seem full of welcomes.

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'er his fancy bids him roam,
In ev'ry Inn he finds a home--

Will not an Inn his cares beguile,
Where on each face he sees a smile?

Happy field or mossy cavern,
Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern?
