The Baboon, as a Counsellor; Alderman, Glutton;
A Lamb, Miss in her teens, with her aunt, an old mutton.
It was easy to see, as this couple past by,
The Wolf, very knowingly, cast a Sheep’s eye.
And now at the door was a terrible clatter,
The beasts all about wonder’d what was the matter.
A poor Cat in pattens came running so fast,
Her ticket was almost forgot as the past;
[p10]
But there was, it appear’d, quite enough to alarm her,
For close at her heels came a great Hog in armour.
