Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 618
de, To state the simple facts I ve tried, And, though I d much preferTo leave it for some abler pen,This chance may not occur again— No, indeed—purr-r-r-r. INTRODUCES HERSELF I never was a stickler forMere empty demonstration, And ceremony I abhorAs shallow ostentation; So I informally proclaim… … The dog, whose silly name is Gip, I tolerate austerely;He s just a common little snip, Of Scotch extraction clearly.He learned quite early in the gameThat certain cats are not the same. 1063 1064
