Merry Christmas


"A ludicrous POETICAL INVECTIVE against Christmas Gambols, Minc'd-Pies, and Plumb-Porridge, &c. &c." from The Agreeable Companion; OR, an Universal Medley of Wit and Good-Humour (London: Bickerton, 1745) 242-243.

See the last line of this poem.
According to the OED, "daggled" means skirts covered in mud, splattered, bemired.

Watch for dirty whores!
