Eleven O’clock·

The _Cook_ undoes the _Oven Door_; [Sidenote: _Hot and dusty._]

The _Kobold_ smells the baking _Pies_;

Licking his _Lips_, with glistening _Eyes_,

He hops across the _Floor_. [Sidenote: K⊕P.]

Our fat, old _Betty_ sweats and blows;

She does not see how near he stands,

And when she bangs the _Door, Good Lands_!

It’ most cuts off his _Nose_.
