MRS. LEO HUNTERS Celebrated ELRGy OK THE
DEATH OF A FROG.
Can view thee painting, lying
on thy stomach, without signing?
can unmovcd, see thee dying
on a log,
Expiring frog'
Say, have nends, In shape OF boys,
With Wild halloo, and brutal noise,
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With dog,
Expiring frog?
Dos. thou leave some loving mate,
TO mourn thy sad, untlmely fate,
Ant to sit d!sconsolate,
Beside this log,
Awidowed frog?
Hast thou little offspring nigh
Tender tadpoles, young and spry,
Who for thee shall loudly cry?
! Poor pollywogs
And orphaned frogs
Often, for thee, at evening hour,
Thy comrades shall lift up with power,
Their voices from each marshy bower
And Shiny bog,
Lamented frog
And while for thee drop a tear,
Ny heart breathes forth wish sincere.
That some old pedagogue severe
Those boys would fog,
Oh, murdered frog
The whole OF this tender efIusion has never
before been given to the world, but after much
research the missing verses have been found
ana contributed by Mrs. Leo Hunters admiring
friend, POLLY FlDDLEsTioKs.
