Another sadder song:
Once more Il Trovatore cries
A tale of deeper wrong;”

Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”

“The dog is mentioned in the Bible eighteen times—the cat not even once.”
