ON THE DEATH OF A FAVOURITE BEAUTIFUL TABY COLOUR'D CAT.
How hard my lot! and ah! how cruel fate!
Thus to bereave me of my fav'rite cat!
Depriv'd of thee, in vain I seek relief;
In vain I strive to moderate my grief.
Oppres'd with woe, all o'er the house I roam,
And Puffy call, but Puffy cannot come.
