THE LION, THE MASTIVES, AND OTHER BEASTS.  A fable.
In former days--no matter when--
Four footed beasts resembled men:
Partook of human speech and cares,
And manag'd mighty state affairs.
. . . [78 lines]
Annon, by stratagem or chance,
They claw his ears--and make him dance.
. . . [16 lines]
With pealing shouts the woodlands ring,
Each mastiff's glory---now they sing!
. . . [58 more lines]
