Listen in the reader

To see him squat like little chaps at school, I could let fly a laugh with all my might. He peers, hangs both his fore-paws:- bless that fool, He's bobbing at his frill now!--what a sight! Licking the dish up, As if he thought to pass from black to white, Like parson into lawny bishop.
