"The Potter fashioned me with care, as plainly doth appear,
For to supply the harvest men with good strong English beer.
Drink around my Jolly reapers and when the corn is cut
We'll [hand] the other Jug around
and cry A Neck A Neck."
Able Symonds 1813
Inscribed on Devon Harvest Jug, at Buckland Abbey, National Trust
