I answer not how this was wrought:

All miracles surpass my thought.

They're vexing, say you? and dementing?

Peace, peace! they're none of my inventing.

But lest too much of mystery

Embarrass this true history,

I'll not relate how that this goat

Stood up and stamped her feet, to inform'em

With—what's the word?—I mean, to warm'em;

Nor how she plucked her rough capote
