cubb'd

Updated: March 25, 2026

Cubb'd in a Cabbin, on a Mattress laid, On a brown George, with lousy Swobbers fed; Dead Wine, that stinks of the Borachio, sup From a foul Jack, or greasy Maple Cup! Say, wouldst thou bear all this, to raise the Store, From Six i'th' Hundred to Six Hundred more?

Joseph Addison - The Spectator, Volume 1: Eighteenth-Century Periodical Essays
