PANIC

Who stands in front of the Almanack
To show his interior plan.

The Crab by their tails
Flung the Fish in the Scales,

From the shaft of her beau Sagittarius.

THE END OF IT
A WHOLE-TAIL dog, and a half-tai!
dog,
And a dog without a tail.
Went all three out on an autumn day
To follow a red-fox trail.
But the dogs that carried their tails along
Fell out, it is said, by the way ;
And the loss of a tail and a half at the end
Of the dogs put an end to the fray.
When each, as a morsel sweet, gulped down
What had late been a neighbor's pride,
" You Ve kept your tails," laughed the no-tail
dog,
" But you wear them now insider

Before her fairer light.
