| And many toilsome steps together trod; For harbor at a thousand doors they knocked - Not one of all the thousand but was locked. At last an hospitable house they found, A homely shed; the roof, not far from ground, Was thatched with reeds and straw together bound. There Baucis and Philemon lived, and there Had lived long and married and a happy pair: Now old in love; though little was their store, Inured to want, their poverty they bore, Nor aimed at wealth, professing to be poor.
