The dust it flew, and no man knew

The like of it before.

The St. Bernard's deep booming bass,

The hound's sepulchral howl,

The terrier-whelp's staccato yelp,

And the bull-dog's massive growl,

In chorus sounded thro' the town:

The windows up they went,

Thro' every space a gaping face

Inquiringly was bent.
