THE CAT; Epitaph on the Favourite Cat of Mme. la Duchesse du Maine Puss passer-by, within this simple tomb Lies one whose life fell Atropos hath shred; The happiest cat on earth hath heard his doom, And sleeps forever in a marble bed. Alas! what long delicious days I've seen! O cats of Egypt, my illustrious sires, You who on altars, bound with garlands green, Have melted hearts and kindled fond desires, Hymns in your praise were paid, and offerings too; But I'm not jealous of those rites divine; Since Ludovisa loved me, fond and true, Your ancient glory was less proud than mine. To live, a simple pussy, by her side, Was nobler far than to be deified. Translated from the French of La Mothe le Vayer by Edmund Gosse. 71
The Cat's Coronach And art thou fallen, and lowly laid, The housewife's boast, the cellar's aid, Great mouser of thy day Whose rolling eyes and aspect dread Whole whiskered legions oft have fled In midnight battle fray. There breathes no kitten of thy line =THE CAT But would have given his life for thine. Oh, could I match the peerless strain That wailed for black Sir Roderic slain, Or that, whose milder tone, O'er Gertrude, fall'n in beauty's prime, The grace of Pennsylvania's clime, Raised the sepulchral moan; Such strain might burst th' eternal bar, And reach thy spirit from afar. But thou, remote from pain and strife, Now reap'st the meed of virtuous life In some Elysian grove, Where endless streams of milk abound, And soft valerian paints the ground Thy joyous footsteps rove; With Tasso's cat by poems named, And Whittington's, in story famed, Requies cat in pace. Anonymous. 72
