"By the side of my venison a tumbler of beer Or a bottle of sherry how pleasant to see, And to know that I dined on the best of the deer, That never was _dearer_ to any than me!" =King's Head=, by Scarlet's Wharf (northwest corner Fleet and North streets); burnt 1691, and rebuilt. Fleet Street was formerly Scarlet's Wharf Lane. Kept by James Davenport, 1755, and probably, also, by his widow. "A maiden _dwarf_, fifty-two years old," and only twenty-two inches high, was "to be seen at Widow Bignall's," next door to the =King's Head=, in August, 1771. The old _King's Head_, in Chancery Lane, London, was the rendezvous of Titus Oates' party. Cowley the poet was born in it. =Lamb.= The sign is mentioned as early as 1746. Colonel Doty kept it in 1760. The first stage-coach to Providence put up at this house. The Adams House is on the same site, named for Laban Adams, who had kept the _Lamb_. =Lion=, formerly =Grand Turk=. In Newbury, now Washington, Street. (See _Landmarks of Boston_.) Kept by Israel Hatch in 1789. =Light-House and Anchor=, at the North End, in 1763. Robert Whatley then kept it. A Light-house tavern is noted in King Street, opposite the Town-House, 1718. =Orange Tree=, head of Hanover Street, 1708. Jonathan Wardwell kept it in 1712; Mrs. Wardwell in 1724; still a tavern in 1785. Wardwell set up here the first hackney-coach stand in Boston. =Philadelphia=, or =North End Coffee-House=, opposite the head of Hancock's Wharf. Kept by David Porter, father of the old Commodore and grandfather of the present Admiral. "Lodges, clubs, societies, etc., may be provided with dinners and suppers,--small and retired rooms for small company,--oyster suppers in the nicest manner." Formerly kept by Bennet. Occupied, 1789, by Robert Wyre, distiller. =Punch Bowl=, Dock Square, kept by Mrs. Baker, 1789. =Queen's Head.= In 1732 Joshua Pierce, innholder, is allowed to remove his license from the sign of the =Logwood Tree=, in Lynn Street, to the _Queen's Head_, near Scarlet's Wharf, where Anthony Young last dwelt. =Roebuck=, north side of Town Dock (North Market Street). A house of bad repute, in which Henry Phillips killed Gaspard Dennegri, and was hanged for it in 1817. Roebuck passage, the alley-way through to Ann Street, took its name from the tavern. It is now included in the extension northward of Merchants' Row. =Rose and Crown=, near the fortification at Boston Neck. To be let January 25, 1728: "enquire of Gillam Phillips." This may be the house represented on Bonner's map of 1722. =Red Lion=, North Street, corner of Richmond. Noticed as early as 1654 and as late as 1766. John Buchanan, baker, kept near it in 1712.
