CARLO AND PONTS.

Sate tae

 
  

" ut ° Their onde were lee a at their eyes;
Their limbs were strong, and long their hair:
Twin-brothers they—a noble pair.

Which dog was best ’twere hard to tell,—
Each seemed the other to excel :

Bv all who knew them ’twas confessed,
Kach seemed to think the other best.

And though from pride and envy free,
Each strove the better dog to be,
That he example good might set,

To make his brother better vet.

Obedient, patient, faithful, bold,

The pets of young folks and of old,—

You will, I’m sure, at once infer,

What good dogs should be, these dogs were.
