In de achtiende eeuw schreef William Cowper, dit gedicht als ode aan de meer dan 10.000 kantwerksters van Dowton en omgeving.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Lace maker (Kantwerkster)
Yon cottager, who weaves at her own door,
Pillow and bobbins all her little store;
Content though mean, and cheerful if not gay,
Shuffling her threads about the livelong day,
Just earns a scanty pittance, and at night
Lies down secure, her heart and pocket light.
