A Yorkshireman’s coat of arms:—a fly, a flea,
a magpie, and a flitch of bacon.
A fly will tipple with any body, so will a Yorkshireman; a flea will bite every body; so will a Yorkshireman; a magpie will chatter with any body, so will a Yorkshireman; and a flitch of bacon isnever good for any thing till it has been hanged up, no more is a Yorkshireman.
