But old Taurus he wakes, and he thunders forth “Hold!”
With ho! ho! ho! that game is no go!
Caught napping by Ursa, no, no, no, no!

A parody in three verses, entitled Simmonds, the Bellower, was written by J. A. Hardwick. The first verse is given, the other two are omitted, owing to their coarseness:—
Simmonds, the Bellower.
Old Simmonds, the Bellower, keeps a coal store,
Of “Clinkers,” and “Slates” nub-bel-y,
And light weights, and who can say what he does more?
For a pious old cock is he.
