'Who Comes Here?', 'A Grenadier' - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration

A British Grenadier from a later age approaches a tavern - ?Ye Bleeding Horse? - where some medieval characters are imbibing ale. They send him on his way with a rudely thumbed nose and a sneer.
??Who comes here?' ?A grenadier' - ?What d'ye want?' ?A pot of beer.' - ?Where's your money?' ?I forgot.' - ?Get you gone you drunken sot.'?
From ?Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva? illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co
