“The ale which could be had for fourpence a pot
Now must be had for one and four the jolly lot;
Let workingman combine to keep down the price,
The Brewers and publicans will climb down in a trice.

So at this price let Mr Bung keep his beer,
If it's good it make you well, but too much makes you queer,
It's too much to pay for such dear doubtful stuff;
So I'm trying to do without it; my name is John Hadenough.”
