                                                One who hops, devil-may-care

                                            3.

                                                While I sleep, how do you fare?

                                            5.

                                            6.

                                                A rousing kiss, a horse so fair

                                            9.
                                            
                                                Soft, with tickly whiskers there

                                            10.

                                            11.
                                            
                                                Mornings do I feel despair

                                                For my cupboard lay plain and bare

                                            13.
                                            
                                                Lyra, my oats, will you forswear?

                                            14.
