Pretty Lessons in Verse | ||
[The lion in Africa reigns]
The lion in Africa reigns;The tiger his empire maintains
In India's palm-bearing land:
And leo is Latin for lion;
I hope that I never shall spy one
Without his good keeper at hand:
A tiger is tigris; I trust I shall ne'er
Fall in with a tiger aroused from his lair.
