Don't suit me!

Never mind the fussy frumps, the old women of each sex;

Better raise their ready wrath than the prudent public vex

With crass rules.

Muzzles now and collars then, partial orders soon relaxed;

Men rebel when with caprice they are tied, or teased, or taxed,

Else they're fools.

Keep the muzzles on a year, regularly, and all round,

Every doggy of high breed, mongrel puppy, whelp or hound,

Will give thanks
