Pity the sorrows of a poor old Dog
  Who wags his tail a-begging in his need:
Despise not even the sorrows of a Frog,
  God's creature too, and that's enough to plead:
Spare **** who trusts us purring on our hearth:
  Spare Bunny once so frisky and so free:
Spare all the harmless tenants of the earth:
  Spare, and be spared:--or who shall plead for thee?
