 : Night Watchman or Bellman 1608


Night Watchman or Bellman 1608

The Night Watchman or Bellman of London, decribes the Watchman and Bellman as a person of some activity, the child of darkness, a common nightwalker; a man that had no man to wait upon him, but only a dog, one that was disordered person and a midnight would beat at men's doors, bidding them (in mere mockery) to look to their candles, when they themselves were in their dead of sleep
