Safe in thy wired castle, GRIMALKIN never could annoy thee. Daily wert thou fed with the choicest viands, By the fair hand of an indulgent mistress ; But, discontented, Thou wouldst have more freedom. Too soon, alas ! didst thou obtain it ; And wandering, Thou art fallen by the fangs of wanton, cruel RANGER ! Learn hence, Ye who blindly seek more liberty, Whether subjects, sons, squirrels or daughters, That apparent restraint may be real protection, Yielding peace and plenty With security. You ...see, my dear Miss, how much more decent and proper this broken style is than if we were to say, by way of epitaph : Here SKUGG Lies snug As a bug In a rug. And yet perhaps there are people in the world of so little feeling as to think this would be a good enough epitaph for poor Mungo. If you wish it, I shall procure another to succeed him ; but perhaps you will now choose some other amusement. Remember me affectionately to all the good family, and believe me ever your affectionate friend. B. FRANKLIN.
