- 1881 December 3, Sydney Punch, page 8, column 2:
- The evil-smelling larrikin, beer-imbued —
The evil-loving brute-man homeward goes,
He kicks his dirty children with his boot,
Cursing their hunger, — and his poor worn wife
With cold flat-irons and handled broom awaits
His coming, to revile his drinking hard.
