    “But now he snapped his eyes three times;
    Then shook his lantern, saying, “He’s
    ‘Bout out!” and took the long way home
    By road, a matter of several miles.”

    “It is not linen you’re wearing out
    But human creatures’ lives!
    Stitch—stitch—stitch,
    In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
    Sewing at once, with a double thread,
    A Shroud as well as a Shirt.”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
