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
