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.
