Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98 January 11, 1890

Très volontiers, repartit le démon. Vous aimez les tableaux changeans; je veux vous contenter.
Le Diable Boiteux,
Midnight's meridian is supposed to mark
The bound twixt toil and slumber. Light and dark
Mete out the lives of mortals
In happy alternation, said my guide.
Six hours must fleet ere Phoebus shall set wide
His glowing orient portals.
The last loud halloo at the tavern-door
long since has driven the reckless and the poor
From misery's only haven
