BADGER. BADGER, you think youre lying there, Safe and sound in your den—beware ! Here come some who will make you smart: Come out and show if youve a heart; I know not if pleasant it will appear, To have the dogs barking so close to your ear. The dogs fell on him with bark and with yell;He fought like a brave badger, fiercely and well.But amid the bravest of badgers, noneCould fight with his foemen, three to one.Into his den he would have fled, But a shot came—bang—and he fell down dead. 88

PUSSY. WHY do you wash yourself, Pussy, I pray,Every half hour, all through the day ?PUSSY. Because I never can bear to be seen, If I am not quite neat and quite clean;From top to toe, head and paws with me,Must be bright and comely as bright can be. And very often I heard them tell,How all petted Pussy, and liked her well;How she might sleep in the room when she i-h-And een on the laps of the ladies might d«>/r :How our clean little Pussy by all was caressd,For her neatness made her a welcome giu-st.
