Then follow’d his friend in a very large wig
As a deep read professor—the fam’d learned Pig—
A Bear came as Caliban, loaded with wood,
His bones full of aches from Prospero’s rod.
The Greyhound as Vanity holding a glass,
The Stag, as Actæon; King Midas, the Ass.
And next them a sullen, and obstinate Mule,
As a Dunce, who had just been expell’d from his school.
The Mastiff a brave English sailor appear’d,
No friend he betray’d, and no enemy fear’d:
