(Another Version of Shelley's partial view of the subject.)

I bring cats and dogs, and November fogs,

For the folks of Cockney land;

And I brew the flood of slush and mud

In Fleet Street and the Strand.

From my watery bed spring colds in the head,

And highly inflam'd sore-throats;

And I'm the Mama[[7]] of the bad Catarrh,

And the Mother of Waterproof Coats.

I gave birth to Goloshes and Macintoshes,
