"We have an old Mother that peevish [irritation] is grown,
She snubs us like Children that scarce walk alone;
She forgets we’re grown up and have Sense of our own;
If we don’t obey Orders, whatever the Case;
She frowns, and she chides [scolds], and she loses all Patience, and sometimes she hits us a Slap in the Face, "
