He said "I am infernal weary,

I would that bill were paid."

About six fathoms from the wall,

A blackened chimney (much askew)

Smoked in his face—and round and small

The chimney-pots destroy his view,

Hard by—a popular highway,

With coal-dust turned to pitchy dark,

Where many a little dog doth bark,

Some black, some mottled, many grey.
