Sir Richard Cecil was a knight of very high 



degree. 

 He came to preach some . English fad in North 



Amerii<:ey; 

 But a clever Indian medicine man transformed 



him to a bird. 

 With the funniest, drollest, dryest note that ever 



yet was heard: 

 And now he sings the livelong day, from mul- 

 lein top or thistle. 

 The first of his intended speech, "Oh 1 am 

 Dick, Dick Cissel."
