A Theory, by scientists defended,

Declares that we from monkeys are descended.

This being thus, we therefore clearly see

The Powder-Monkey heads some pedigree.

Ah, yes,—from him descend by evolution,

The Dames and Daughters of the Revolution.

The sportive Tree Calf here we see,

He builds his nest up in a tree;

To this strange dwelling-place he cleaves

Because he is so fond of leaves.

'Twas his ancestral cow, I trow,

Jumped o'er the moon, so long ago.

But he is not so great a rover,

Though at the last he runs to cover.
