Joan's ale is new; or: a new merry medly [sic], shewing the power, the strength, the operation, and the vertue that remains in good ale, which is accounted the mother-drink of England. All you that do this merry ditty view, taste of Joan's ale, for it is strong and new. To a pleasant new northern tune
