The shaggy beaver throws,

And with the ample feather's aid

O'er-canopies the nose;

Where'er with smooth and silken pile,

Ling'ring in solemn pause awhile,

The crimson velvet glows;

From some high bench's giddy brink,

Clinton with me begins to think

(As bolt upright we sit)

That dress, like dogs, should have its day,
