Now hue and cry, now whimpering and wail—

A perfect goose-yard cackle of complaint

Because I do not gild the geese their oats,—

I have enough of noise, ope wicket wide,

Sweep out the couple to go whine elsewhere,

Frightened a little, hurt in no respect,

And am just taking thought to breathe again,

Taste the sweet sudden silence all about,

When, there they raise it, the old noise I know,

At Rome i' the distance! "What, begun once more?
