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,
