Description
Excerpt from The London Spy: A Book of Town Travels
Of all our poets who have attempted in one way or another to celebrate London in song, none of the illustrious hundreds, from William Dunbar onward, has, I think, got so near to the heart of the matter as that obscure lyrist, who sang discordantly, some fifteen ears ago, to the mouth-organ rather than the Iyre. How does the doggerel go?
