And black as the crow they denominate Jim,

With a tail like a bull, and a head like a bear,

Stands forth at the window--and what holds he there,

Which he hugs with such care,

And pokes out in the air,

And grasps as its limbs from each other he'd tear?

It's Le Scroope's poor, dear, sweet, little, curly-wigged Heir!

Whom the nurse had forgot and left there in his chair,
