'''A Catch on Midnight Cats:''' : I: Ye Cats that at midnight spit Love at each other ::who best feel the Pangs of a passionate Lover, ::I appeal to your Scratches and tattered Fur ::if the business of Love be no more to Pur. : II: Old Lady Grimalkin with Gooseberry Eyes, ::when a Kitten knew something for why she was wise, ::You find by experience the Love fit's soon o'er, ::Pus, Pus last not long but turns to Catwhore. :III: Men ride many miles, Cats tread many Tiles, ::both hazard, both hazard their Necks in the fray, ::only Cats if they fall from a House or a Wall keep their Feet, ::mount their Tails, mount their Tails and away. '''A Cat Catch by R. Brown:''' : I: We Cats when assembled at Midnight together, ::for innocent Puring, Puring, for innocent Puring, ::puring, in Moonshiney weather. : II: If Dogs be in kennel, all fast in their straw, ::we march, and we meaw, meaw, meaw ::whitout scratch or a claw. :III: But if they suprise us, and put us to flight, ::we fret, fret, and we spit, fret fret, spit, spit, ::give a squall, squall and good.
