   • 1928, Noël Coward, Operette:

     Our homes command extensive views,
     And with assistance from the Jews
     We have been able to dispose of
     Rows and rows and rows of
     Gainsboroughs, and Lawrences,
     Some sporting prints of Aunt Florence's,
     Some of which
     Were rather rude.
