Thus when a barber and a collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collierwhite The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And big with vengeance beats the barberblack. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'erspread, And beats the collier and the barberred Black, red, and white in various clouds are tost, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.
