Though she thought that his mouth was a little too wide.

The Zebra look’d sprightly, as every one saw,

And the African Sheep and white-footed Nyl Ghau;

And that leaper of leapers, the strange Kangaroo,

That is biped and triped and quadruped too,

Who out-juggles the Juggler, by hill and by dale;

For he makes, when he pleases, a leg of his tail.

With a soft, silky, aspect, demure and profound,

A tabby Cat wander’d the Gardens around,

And purr’d her applause with a quiet delight,
