To jackals, vultures, dogs, cats, kites, and crows;

His hunger thus the forest monarch gluts,

And then lies down 'neath trees called cocoa nuts10

The lion hunt.

Quick issue out, with musket, torch, and brand,

The sturdy blackamoors, a dusky band!

The beast is found—pop goes the musketoons—

The lion falls covered with horrid wounds.

Their lives at home.
