THE CAT Yet can thy humble roof maintaine a quire Of singing crickets by thy fire; And the brisk mouse may feast herselfe with crumbs, Till that the green-eyed kitling comes. 24 Robert Herrick.
THE CAT= Dido We have got the prettiest kitten you ever saw, — a dark tabby,— and we have christened her by the heathenish name of Dido. You would be very much diverted to see her hunt Herbert all round the kitchen, playing with his little bare feet, which she just pricks at every pat; and the faster he moves back, the more she paws them, at which he cries, " Naughty Dido ! " and points to his feet, and says, " Hurt, hurt, naughty Dido ! " Pres- ently he feeds her with comfits, which Dido plays with awhile, but soon returns to her old game. Robert Southey to Lieutenant Southey. 25
