Old Lady Grimalkin with her gooseberry eyes,

Knew something when a kitten, for why she was wise;

You find by experience, the love-fit's soon o'er,

Puss! Puss! lasts not long, but turns to Cat-whore!

Men ride many miles,

Cats tread many tiles,

Both hazard their necks in the fray;

Only Cats, when they fall

From a house or a wall,

Keep their feet, mount their tails, and away!
