was



as the enraptured one fancied
all this
while snugly cuddling in the
style in which
he sometimes passes along the hollow
and was
seen
tied to
van
tassels paling on a still greater
proof
of generalship
to maintain his seat sometimes slipping
on one

side of

bacon and juicy relishing ham not
a
turkey
but he who
keeps
undisputed sway
over

the fat meadow
lands the rich bed
of clover bordering

the little brook that whimpered
by
his pursuer
