The punctual Crane—the providential Raven?

The Pelican whose bosom feeds her young?

Nay, must we cut from Saturday till Monday

That feather'd marvel with a human tongue,

Because she does not preach upon a Sunday—

But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy?

The busy Beaver—that sagacious beast!

The Sheep that own'd an Oriental Shepherd—

That Desert-ship the Camel of the East,

The horn'd Rhinoceros—the spotted Leopard—
