Matching Quote
"Now hardly here and there an hackney coach
Appearing, showed the ruddy morn's approach.
Now Betty from her master's bed had flown,
And softly stole to
discompose
her own;
The slipshod 'prentice from his master's door
Had pared the dirt, and sprinkled round the floor."
-Jonathan Swift
