With sable hare, small tapir waist, And lips you'd gopher miles to taste;
Bright, lambent eyes, like the gazelle, Sheep pertly brought to bear so well;
Ape pretty lass it was avowed, Of whom her marmot to be proud.
Deer girl! I loved her as my life, And vowed to heifer for my wife.
Alas! A sailor on the sly, Had cast on her his wether eye.
He said my love for her was bosh, And my affection I musquash.
He'd dog her footsteps everywhere, Anteater in the easy-chair;
He'd setter round, this sailor chap, And pointer out upon the map
Where once a pirate cruiser boar Him captive to a foreign shore.
The cruel captain far outdid The yaks and crimes of Robert Kid.
