Fighting Dogs <^> <^ ^^ <^y *^- 



(From Tom Thumb the Great) 



O, when two dogs are fighting in the streets, 

 J — ' With a third dog one of the two dogs meets, 

 With angry teeth he bites him to the bone, 

 And this dog smarts for what that dog has done. 



Henry Fieldifig. 



An Appreciation <^>- <r> "O ^2>- ^> 



QEXSE and fidelity are wonderful recommend- 

 ^ ations ; and when one meets with them, 

 and can be confident that one is not imposed upon, 

 I cannot think that the two additional legs are any 

 drawback. At least I know that I have had 

 friends who would never have vexed or betrayed 

 me, if they had walked on all fours. 



Horace Walpole. 



Epitaph : On a favourite Lap-dog *o <^ 



NEVER bark'd when out of season ; 

 *• I never bit without a reason ; 

 I ne'er insulted sveaker brother ; 

 Nor wrong'd by force nor fraud another.
