O Winter, Ruler Of The Inverted Year!

I Have A Kitten,the Drollest Of All Creatures That Ever Wore A Cat's Skin.

Religion Does Not Censure Or Exclude Unnumbered Pleasures, Harmlessly Pursued.

Lived In His Saddle, Loved The Chase, The Course, And Always, Ere He Mounted, Kiss'd His Horse.

How Much A Dunce That Has Been Sent To Roam, Excels A Dunce That Has Been Kept At Home.

This Fond Attachment To The Well-known Place Whence First We Started Into Life's Long Race, Maintains Its Hold With Such Unfailing Sway, We Feel It E'en In Age, And At Our Latest Day.
