There be coarse souls to whom all flesh is game,

Who do not hail thee as a new-born brother

But merely as a thing at which to aim

Their fratricidal guns; they simply smother

The sense, which I for one cannot eschew,

Of soul relationship 'twixt man and gnu.

'Tis not, O surely not, for such as these

Those baby limbs are flung in lightsome capers;

Those puny bleatings were not meant to please

Facetious writers for the daily papers;
