Quotes - Bawdy and General

“This is Charles-Town”

Black and white
all mix’d together
Inconstant, strange, unhealthful weather

Burning heat and chilling cold
Dangerous both to young and old

Boisterous winds and heavy rains
Fevers and rheumatic pains

Agues plenty without doubt
Sores, boils, the prickling heat and gout

Water bad, past all drinking
Men and women without thinking

Every thing at a high price
But rum, hominy and rice

Many a widow not unwilling
Many a beau not worth a shilling

Many a bargain, if you strike it
This is Charles-town,
how do you like it

Captain Martin, 1769
