WILD ANIiYALS IN CAPTIVITY 
Like a nigger unreclaimed, 
Unobserved, unknown, unnamed. 
Fame concerning you quite dumb. 
Even your “colossal thumb,” 
By the scribes who columns vamp us. 
Undescribed; your “hippocampus” 
“ here’s another gut ! ” 
OR, THE BABY GORILLA AT THE ZOO. 
Nurse Bartlett. “He shall have a Fifteen-Shilling Pine, he shall! and Finest 
English Hot-hoiise Grapes, he shall ! and Gold-Dust too, if he cries for it, the little 
Darling ! ”
