INCIDENT,

Characteristic of a favourite Dog, which belonged
to a Friend of the Author.

On his morning rounds the MasterGoes to learn how all things fare;Searches pasture after pasture,Sheep and Cattle eyes with care;And, for silence or for talk,He hath Comrades in his walk;Four Dogs, each pair of different breed,Distinguished two for scent, and two for speed.
