MISCELLANEOUS
THE MONK AND HIS PET CAT
I and my white Pangur
Have each his special art:
His mind is set on hunting mice,
Mine is upon my special craft.
I love to rest—better than any fame!—
With close study at my little book:
White Pangur does not envy me:
He loves his childish play.
When in our house we two are all alone—
A tale without tedium!
We have—sport never-ending!
Something to exercise our wit.
