266 On he speeds, never wasting a wordlet,
 * Though thoughtlets cling, closely as wax,

To the spot where the beautiful birdlet So quietly quacks.

Where the Lobsterlet lurks, and the Crablet
 * So slowly and sleepily crawls:

Where the Dolphin’s at home, and the Dablet
 * Pays long ceremonious calls:

Where the Grublet is sought by the Froglet:
 * Where the Frog is pursued by the Duck:

Where the Ducklet is chased by the Doglet—— So runs the world's luck!
