Poor Pussy. 205 Well, it's th' way o' this world! When one's powfagg'd an' deawn, An' friends 'at should care for us every one fleawn. There's allis some ready--Tom, Harry, or Dick--To hurl us still lower, an' give us a kick. Like some hungry vulture 'at hovers areawnd, An' fattens its carcase o' meat 'at's unseawnd--So these, havin' passions degraded an' low, Can feed upo' cruelty, revel 'midst woe!
