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:
