Anonymous, The Remarkable Adventures of an Old Woman and Her Pig
“ Though no flood would extinguish, no fire would burn,No crab-stick would give Mr. Bow-wow a blow,Nor would he compel the pig forward to go.Then kindling with rage Piggy’s mistress cried out,“Oh! here comes a man, he’ll avenge me no doubt.” ”

“ THE OLD WOMAN AND HER PIG.A little old woman, who lived in a house,Too small for a giant, too big for a mouse,—Was sweeping her chambers, (though she had not many,) When she found, by good fortune, a bright silver penny! ”
Anonymous, The Remarkable Adventures of an Old Woman and Her Pig

[p6] “Well, this is provoking! ”
