  Philip's playful dog was willing Always to be set on watch; When a whelp, by daily drilling, Trusty seldom found his match! Philip bought him very early From a beggar going round, Who, from being poor or surly, Said he should be "sold or drown'd." Trusty well repaid his master For the care of rearing him, For he sav'd from like disaster Philip, when he learn'd to swim! |
