MIGRATION OF THE BEASTS. vil 
« There ’s Mr. Cross, and Mr. Nash, 
Are bargaining a few ; 
And if the State « comes dow nw ith cash, 
Why, we must come down too. 
With that they parted from their home, 
As for a general rush :— 
The Cockatoo put up his com, 
The Fox put up his brush. 
The Elephant his trunk prepared, 
The Pelican her bag ;* 
And first a sigh or two they spared 
And then began to wag. 
The morning papers had the news 
Of this important thing 
Some of them went to the King s Mews, 
There to amuse the King. 
Most to the Regent’s Park are fled, 
Where little girls and boys 
May learn Zoology, instead 
Of playing with their toys. 
There they are nicely housed and stall’d, 
They, too, have got their ology— 
Gardens which after them are call’d 
The Gardens of Zoology. 
The other beasts are /ions there, 
The Liou is no more ; 
The Bear is more than I can bear, © 
The Tiger is a bore. = 
Peru’s engaging Llama here 
You may peruse at leisure ; 
And Goats from Cashmere, who for mere 
Cash may be had at pleasure.
