And being well dried and well rid of the water,
Was then introduced by the King to his daughter, Mi
And invited to drive in the King’s coach-and-four
And Puss, who had managed all, hurried before,
And seeing men reaping some very fine corn,
Said to them, “ You will wish that youd never
been born.
lf you don’t tell the King, who ts now near at hand
f [hat the Marquis of Carabas owns all this land.”
And all whom he met he commanded the same
To magnify further the Marquis's name.
