What dream Of terror the muddled mind
befogs,
On the startled air Of night,
How they bark and howl and bite,
Too much Mortified to sleep,
We can only lie and weep,
Or IN clamorous appealing
To the mercy of the dogs,
In a mad expostulatlon,
With the barking. bowling dogs,
Who barking louder, louder. louder,
Make US wish for shot and powder,
And a resolute endeavor
Now, now to shoot or never,
Into the pack Of dogs,
DhEs, dogs, dogs, dogs,
Among the bowling, snarlins, ye!ping
