al cheer

    Bounded at tle clear,

    Up the woodside hieing;

    tched in reach

    Of a faintly uttered speech

    Or a louder sighing.

    And if one or tears

    Dropped upon his glossy ears

    Or a sigh came double,

    Up e,

    Fa,

    In a tender trouble.

    And tisfied

    If a pale thin hand would glide

    Down his dewlaps sloping, --

    hin,

    After, -- platforming his chin

    On t open.

    this dog, if a friendly voice

    Call o blither choice

    than such chamber-keeping,

    Come out! praying from the door, --

    Presseth backward as before,

    Up against me leaping.

    to this dog will I,

    tenderly not scornfully,

    Render praise and favor:

    ith my hand upon his head,

    Is my benediction said

    therefore and for ever.

    And because he loves me so,

    Better than his kind will do

    Often man or woman,

    Give I back more love again

    ten take of men,

    Leaning from my human.

    Blessings on thee, dog of mine,

    Pretty collars make thee fine,

    Sugared milk make fat thee!

    Pleasures ail,

    le motion fail

    Nevermore, to pat thee

    Doake thy head,

    Silken coverlid bestead,

    Sunshy sleeping!

    No flys buzzing hee up,

    No man break thy purple cup

    Set for drinking deep in.

    s arointed flee,

    Sturdy stoppers keep from thee

    Cologne distillations;
