Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run....”

“Where the Moosatockmaguntic
Pours its waters in the Skuntic,
Met, along the forest side
Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde.
She, a maiden fair and dapper,
He, a red-haired, stalwart trapper,
Hunting beaver, mink, and skunk
In the woodlands of Squeedunk.”
—Bayard Taylor (1825–1878)
