    To be, contents his natural desire,
    He asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire;
    But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
    His faithful dog shall bear him company.
    Go wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense
    Weigh thy opinion against Providence.

Grief can not drive him away;
He is gentle, he is kind--

We are two travellers, Roger and I.
Roger's my dog--come here, you scamp!
Jump for the gentleman--mind your eye!
Over the table,--look out for the lamp!

Five years we've tramped through wind and weather,
And slept out-doors when nights were cold,
And ate and drank and starved together.

On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh,
No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;
No harp like my own could so cheerily play,
And wherever I went was my poor dog Tray.
