BEAR. Who is that dancing-master there ?Welcome, welcome, you wonderful bear!What a number of tricks you know !How gracefully on your hind legs you go!But one thing, Bruin, spoils all the play—You grumble in such an ill-temperd way. For the bear indeed it was no great tun, To have to keep dancing… … THE DANCING MARMOT. Youll give me a trifle, good people, Im sure;Im very unhappy, and wretched, and poor.My friends in the corn-field are merry and gay,While I am here hopping and dancing for pay;In winter they sleep without danger or dread,While I must be waking and begging for bread. I pity you…
