S. Carey, in a “Poetical Tagg, or Brighthelmstone Guide,” {241} July 28th, 1777, gives the following on the rise and progress of the town even at that date:— This town, or village of renown, Like London Bridge, half broken down, Few years ago was worse than Wapping, Not fit for human soul to stop in; But now, like to a worn-out shoe, By patching well, the place will do. You’d wonder much, I’m sure, to see, How it’s becramm’d with quality; Here Lords and Ladies oft carouse Together in a tiny house; Like Joan and Darby in their cot, With stool and table, spit and pot; And what his valet would despise, His lordship praises to the skies; But such the _ton_ is, such the case, You’ll see the first of rank or place, With star and riband, all profuse, Duck at his door-way like a goose: The humble beam was plac’d so low, Perhaps to teach some clown to bow. The air is pure as pure can be, And such an aspect of the sea! As you, perhaps, ne’er saw before, From off the side of any shore: On one hand Ceres spreads her plain, And on the other, o’er the main, Many a bark majestic laves Upon the salt and buoyant waves; The hills all mantl’d o’er with green, A friendly shelter to the Steyne, Whene’er the rugged Boreas blows, Bemingled with unwelcome snows: Such is the place and situation, Such is the reigning seat of fashion. Brighthelmstone, July 28th, 1777.
