In 1697, a few short years after street lighting made its London debut,
one commentator remarked on how this new technology was affecting the nightlife:

“The scatt’ring light gilt all the gaudy way,
Some people rose and thought it day.
The plying punks crept into holes,
Who walk’d the streets before by sholes.”
