Bun by my side in sportive play,
Indulg’d his native glee:
Or on my knee would sober sit,
In a still meditative fit,
To ruminate with me.
At early morn and eve serene,
Bun by my side was constant seen,
T’ enjoy the healthful walk;
In livelier mood would round me play,
T’ encrease the pleasures of the way,
