    • 1875, Kellet Rigbye, The poetical works of Kellet Rigbye, page 180:
      Cottages
      Are oft as noble as the sculptured towers
      Of buildings I have noted; but because
      Their tenants have been knownless to the world,
      Their pious words and acts exemplary
      Are never known.
