“Thou inconvenience! thou hungry crop

For all corn! thou snail-creeper to and fro,

Who while thou goest ever seem’st to stop,

And fiddle-faddle standest while you go;

I’ the morning, freighted with a weight of woe,

Unto some lazar-house thou journeyest,

And in the evening tak’st a double row

Of dowdies for some dance or party drest,

Besides the goods meanwhile thou movest east and west.
