The Antelope and Cantelope

Lie side by side upon the slope,

And careless persons might, I fear,

Mistake the melon for the deer.

If you will tap the Cantelope, reposing on the ground,

It does not move, but just emits a melon-choly sound;

But should you try, however, to apply a stethoscope,

And attempt this auscultation on the antlered Antelope,

And should see an imitation of a very rapid flight,

And should say, "It is the Antelope!" I think you would be right.
