“His last attempt was while the court
Were listening to a Sow's report
For the same insults offered her,
By this same wicked treacherous cur.
His mouth, while talking o'er the matter,
Began to froth, his teeth to chatter;
And then between his paws he seiz'd me,
And without mercy prest and squeez'd me;
But I began so loud to squall
He did not touch my teats at all.”
