“We are all of us proud of old Taurus to-day.”

And ho! ho! ho! Things seem to show

That England’s not like to the dogs to go!

Dame Ursa she sits in her cold, bare room,

A Christian dame is she,

From thence oft at curfew she steals in the gloom,

On errands of charity.

Now there’s half a turkey that’s not gone as yet,

Which folks say that Ursa would much like to get,

And Dame Ursa she says she is hungry and cold;
