AIR IV.

[FOR weazles and rats]

[I]

FOR weazles and rats,
He had both sharps and flats;
For dogs barking, largo and affetto.
From the grinding of knives,
And the scolding of wives,
He compos'd a dismallo duetto.

II

He made of frogs croaks,
And the kawing of rooks,
And cats catterwauling, arpegios
Found in B—that cocks crow,
Bulls sound E below;
And sucking-pigs squeak out Adagios.
