THE CAT The hand, and person generally, of him who heaved that brick! For me they fill the milk-bowl up, and cull the choice But ah ! sardine I nevermore shall be the cat I once have been The memories of that fatal night they haunt me even now; In dreams I see that rampant He, and tremble at that Miaow.

THE CAT: The Young Man and His Cat A young man owned a cat with which he was wont to sport, and which he greatly loved. Day and night he prayed to Venus, that she would show favour to him and to his cherished pet. The kindly goddess heard his prayer, and changed the cat into the most beautiful of maidens, whom the youth married that very day. But alas! even on their wedding night, when the bride lay clasped in her husband's arms, she heard a mouse scamper across the room, and leaped lightly from her bed to pur- sue it. Venus, angry at this profanation of wife- hood, and perceiving that, however altered in form, a cat remains a cat at heart, changed her back into a beast, in order that soul and body might be in conformity. 131 Msop's Fables.
