The Fire Of London
ONE speaking of the fire of London, said, Cannon Street roared, Bread
Street was burnt to a crust, Crooked Lane was burnt straight, Addle Hill
staggered, Creed Lane would not believe it till it came, Distaff Lane
had sprung a fine thread, Ironmonger Lane was redhot, Seacoal Lane was
burnt to a cinder, Soper Lane was in the suds, the Poultry was too much
singed, Thames Street was dried up, Wood Street was burnt to ashes, Shoe
Lane was burnt to boot, Snow Hill was melted down, Pudding Lane and Pye
Corner were over baked.
