    “You had been travelling for days
    With an old lady, who marked
    A neat circle on the glass
    With her glove, to watch us

    Kissing, still unable to speak.”

    A whisker first and then a claw,
    With many an ardent wish,
    She stretch’d in vain to reach the prize.

    What Cat’s averse to fish?”
