As Tail of Memphian Crocodile full-grown. 133<br />

[remainder of page is blank]<br />

133 Omits the last stanza in Samuel’s printed version:<br />

Learn hence, Thou two-legg’d Animal call’d Man<br />

Or haughty Stoick boasting Apathy,<br />

Or grunting Swine of Epicurus’ Herd;<br />

Or Cynick Churl, that proud of causeless Snarl,<br />

Unworthily usurp’st the Name of Dog;<br />

Learn from my lofty moralizing Song,<br />

A grateful Sense of Benefits receiv’d,<br />

An humble Rev’rence of superior Pow’r.<br />

This stanza may have been added after John saw original manuscript, for there is a hiatus in the manuscript before<br />

this stanza; cf. Poems (1862), 157.<br />
