And canine councils gravely scanned The works the tyrant man had planned, Devoutly thankful kindly fate Had called them in to save the state. Then time went by, and they detected That man by madness was infected, That dread of water was the sign By which the malady to define, And straightway, for their own protection, They passed a law to stay the infection : That every man who water dreaded Should first be caught and then beheaded, Unless he wore a muzzle snug Around his brandy-branded mug, An...d every one who passed for man Was reckoned fitting for the ban ; Then men walked round with leathern straps Upon their mouths, or wire traps, Or some device their masters picked A kindly misery to inflict. Alas for those who went unguarded ! Their rashness was with stripes rewarded : Official dogs, with iron teeth, Soon worried, hurried them to death, 152 THE TABLES TURNED: A DOGGEREL. And fifty cents a head was given For those which were n't worth half when living ; And mangled forms lay scattered round, Headless and marked by many a wound ; And taunts of sausages and pies, Like human ribald, did arise, Till it was hard to choose the best, The canine or the human jest.
