ve My Dog. Ll love my dog—a beautiful dog, Brave and alert fur a race; Lsady to frolic with baby or man; Diguifled, too, in his place. I ike his bark, —a resonant bark, Musical, honest, and deep; And his swirling tail and his shaggy coat And his sudden, powerful leap. Oh, never a corpulent pug for me, Mor a 8pltz with treacherous snap! Never a trembling, pattering hound, Nor a poodle to live on my lap! No soft-lined basket for bed has Jack, Nor bib, nor luxurious plate; But the doorstep brown, that he guards so well, And the lawns are his royal state. Ko dainty leading-ribbon of silk My grand, good dog shall fret; No golden collar needs he, to show He's a very expensive pet; But just my loving voice for a chain, His bound at my slightest sign, And the faith when we look in each other's eyes Proclaim that my dog is mine. He'll never be carried in arms like a baby, Nor be dragged like a toy, all a-curl; For he proudly knows he’s a dog, does Jack, And I'm not that sort of a girl. I ATH R, WITHERED HOPES.
