    To the dear playhouse, and the players too,
    Sweet country seats are purchas’d ev’ry where,
    With lands and gardens, at less price than here;
    You hire a darksom doghole by the year. John Dryden, Juv.

    Turn arcs of triumph to a garden gate;
    Reverse your ornaments, and hang them all
    On some patch’d doghole, ek’d with ends of wall. Alexander Pope.
