Fit subject for my humble muse

Are ye, whom night and day I use,

My Stockings.

Soon as Aurora points the skies,

(Ere from my sluggard couch I rise,)

For you I raise my earliest cries,

My Stockings.

The live-long day, around my thigh

Ye cling: and seldom turn away;

With me ye trudge through wet and dry,
