    VI
    Like hounds when let loose in a splutter
    Right eagerly bend on their prey
    Through lanes that were knee deep in gútter
    They followed while I led the way
    In short I arrived at my cabin
    And quickly the cow was made sure
    But judge my surprise when the rabble
    (But) Soon entered and crowded the floor.
    VII
    But I certainly brought home a cow
    Which at nightfall I took to a quack
    I told you my story just now,
    But that your apprehension was slack
    However experience teaches
    That you have no profit but knowledge
    But the next time the cock and bull preaches
    You're welcome again to my college.
