    17th Century wit & wisdom:

            On Maids and Cats

    A nimble cat and lazy maid,
    Breed household feuds and are no aid;
    But lazy cats and nimble maids,
    Beyond all doubt, are greater plagues.
    Once, now and then, the cat may eat,
    But snoops the maid in ev’ry plate,
    And makes the purse and cellar low.
    How e’er it hits, there is no dough.

    –Henricus Selyns 1636-1701
