If he knew all the turns of his cunning brain
And could beat all the tricks he plays.
If he had all the brutal force of an ox,
And the tireless strength of the moose;
If he could look as meek as a lamb,
And as silly as any goose.
If his eyes were as keen as an eagle’s,
And he could look as sage as an owl;
If he were as fierce as a lion,
And could terrify with his growl;
