Página 40 - The first the cate-devouring mice destroyed, Thieves heard the last, and from his threshold fled: All in the sunbeams basked the lazy cat, Her mottled length in couchant posture laid ; On one accustomed chair while Pompey sat, And loud he barked should Puss his right invade.

Men must have passions; point them, if you can, Where less the brute enjoys, and more the man. To combat passion when our reasons rise, Reasons are better passions in disguise.
