A Stranger coming up to London, chanced to happen into a house of iniquity,
which had the Flower-de-luce to its Signe, where he got a Clap with a French Coul-staff; whereupon at his going forth, he wrote this Verse over the Door:
All you who hither chance to come, Mark well ere you go in; For French-mens arms are Signs without, And French-mens harms within.
