But swept and scrubbed
Until he was dubbed
The terror of Drains and Greasy Stains,
The Garden Paths and the Clothes Yard!
This is his narrative, word for word,
Just as he rendered it; overheard [[105]]
Up near the door, where the Fairy Scribe
Wrote it all down for his own wee tribe;
And, so he said, to the Town next day
Took it to print; but I grieve to say
