Praise Of A Rabbit-Catcher

Careful he sets his rabbit-nets all round;

_Chang-chang_ his blows upon the pegs resound.

  Stalwart the man and bold! his bearing all

  Shows he might be his prince's shield and wall.

  Careful he is his rabbit-nets to place

  Where many paths of rabbits' feet bear trace.

  Stalwart the man and bold! 'tis plain to see

  He to his prince companion good would be.

  Careful he is his rabbit-nets to spread,

  Where in the forest's depth the trees give shade.

  Stalwart the man and bold! fit his the part

  Guide to his prince to be, and faithful heart.
