Upon Julia's Clothes

Original Text
E. V. Knox, The Brazen Lyre (London: Smith, Elder, 1911): 17. AAS-2294 Internet Archive
["Toy dogs with coats to match their owner's furs were a
feature of the recent show at the Horticultural Hall."
Daily Press.]
1Whenas in furs my Julia goes,
2Of slaughtered vermin goodness knows,
3What tails depend upon her clothes!
4Next, when I cast my eyes and see
5The living whelp she lugs to tea,
6Oh, how their likeness taketh me!
