To hear it from your voice:

And, really, there must be something in it,

For yonder come two greyhounds, who, I flatter

Myself, are couriers on this very matter;

They come so fast, they’ll be here in a minute.

I’ll down, and all of us will seal the blessing

With general kissing and caressing.”

“Adieu,” said fox; “my errand’s pressing;

I’ll hurry on my way,

And we’ll rejoice some other day.”
