Talk:John Earle (bishop)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the best (and still most appropriate) tags from Microcosmographie is the one about the inn, which...: "is a common consumption of the afternoon and the murderer or making away of a rainy day. To give you the total reckoning of it, it is the busy man's recreation, the idle man's business, the melancholy man's sanctuary, the stranger's welcome, the scholar's kindness, and the citizen's courtesy. It is the study of sparkling wits, and a cup of canary their book."
