This innocent old quadruped.

Subpreps, a word of caution, please;

Better prepare your A, B, C's

Than prowl around at dead of night.

Don't rouse the beast in Daniel's breast;

Perhaps you'll come out second best.

Dear, gentle reader, pardon, pray,

I'm thinking now I hear you say,

"Oh, nonsense! what a foolish fuss

About a horse, Bucephalus."
