My whole you’ll find growing in pasture and barns,
Or grown in coats, carpets, warm blankets, and yarns,
In England, in Saxony, France, and old Wales,
And in sundry more places it always prevails.
Of quadrupedal origin—still it is known
In bipedal families oft to be shown;
But the strangest of all its strange forms, and conditions
Is seen in the covering of sage politicians.
