THE CAT: 



False Gods 



Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and 



of gold, and of wood Their faces are blacked 



thorow the smoke that comes out of the temple. Upon 

 their bodies and heads sit battes, swallowes, and birds, 

 and the cats also. By this you may know that they 

 are no gods ; therefore fear them not. 



Baruch, Apocrypha.
