Pictured in face and action,

When, whisking round, he hath discovered there

Five dogs,—all jolly dogs—besides a pair

Of cats, most debonair,

In high assembly met, sublimely lunching,

Best horse's flesh in breathless silence munching,

While he, poor beast! is crunching

His unavailing teeth?—You must be sensible

'Tis aggravating—cruel—indefensible—

Incomprehensible.
