Walk up , walk up ! Here is the superior stuff ! Here is the unadulterated ale of Father Adam -- better than Cognac , Hollands , Jamaica , strong beer or wine of any price ; here it is by the hogshead or the single glass , and not a cent to pay ! Walk up , gentlemen , walk up , and help yourselves ! It were a pity if all this outcry should draw no customers . Here they come . -- A hot day , gentlemen ! Quaff and away again , so as to keep yourselves in a nice cool sweat . -- You , my friend , will need another cupful to wash the dust out of your throat , if it be as thick there as it is on your cowhide shoes . I see that you have trudged half a score of miles to-day , and like a wise man have passed by the taverns and stopped at the running brooks and well-curbs . Otherwise , betwixt heat without and fire within , you would have been burnt to a cinder or melted down to nothing at all , in the fashion of a jelly-fish . Drink and make room for that other fellow , who seeks my aid to quench the fiery fever of last night 's potations , which he drained from no cup of mine . -- Welcome , most rubicund sir ! You and I have been great strangers hitherto ; nor , to confess the truth , will my nose be anxious for a closer intimacy till the fumes of your breath be a little less potent . Mercy on you , man ! the water absolutely hisses down your red-hot gullet and is converted quite to steam in the miniature Tophet which you mistake for a stomach . Fill again , and tell me , on the word of an honest toper , did you ever , in cellar , tavern , or any kind of a dram-shop , spend the price of your children 's food for a swig half so delicious ? Now , for the first time these ten years , you know the flavor of cold water . Good-bye ; and whenever you are thirsty , remember that I keep a constant supply at the old stand . -- Who next ?
-- Oh , my little friend , you are let loose from school and come hither to scrub your blooming face and drown the memory of certain taps XXXXX the ferule , and other schoolboy troubles , in a draught from the town-pump ?
by if like next of on than that to without
