From Project Gutenberg

Are you not he     That frights the maidens of the villagery,     Skims milk, and sometimes labours in the quern,     And bootless makes the breathless housewife churn;     And sometimes makes the drink to bear no harm,     Misleads night wanderers, laughing at their harm?

From Project Gutenberg
