From the London Chronicle of April 18.
The Coventry address having caused much talk, on account of
their compliments to the gentlemen supporters of the bill of
rights . . .
When Queen Elizabeth, in her progress through the Kingdom,
called at Coventry, the Mayor, attended by the aldermen,
addressed her majesty in rhyme in the following words:
We men of Coventry
Are very glad to see
Your royal majesty:
Good lord, how fair you be!
To which her majesty returned the following most gracious
answer:
My royal majesty
Is very glad to see
Ye men of Coventry:
Good lord, what f---s ye be! . . . [signed] J.S.
