That from a fall in shares had ta'en a hurt,

Did come to languish: and indeed, my friend,

The wretched animal heaved forth such groans,

That their discharge annoyed the diners round,

Almost to cursing; and the big, round tears

Coursed one another down his innocent nose

Into his stout; and thus the hapless stag,

Much marked of the many-sided Brougham,

Sat o'er the poor remains of a small steak,

Moistening his plate with tears.
