Strong enough to make even the dumb speak

Strong enough to make even the dumb speak

Ale that would make a cat talk. Strong enough to make even the dumb speak.

"A spicy pot,
Then do's us reason,
Would make a cat
To talk high treason." D'Urfey.

A half-penny cat may look at a king (Scotch). A jeering saying of offence "One is as good as another," and as a Scotchman once said, "and better."
