THE GOAT by ANYTE

First Line: RED REINS, O GOAT, THESE BOYS HAVE SET ABOUT
Last Line: THAT HE MAY LOOK ON THEM WITH KINDLY FACE.
Subject(s): GOATS;
RED reins, O Goat, these boys have set about
Thy neck, a muzzle on thy shaggy snout,
And round God's temple ply their mimic race,
That he may look on them with kindly face.
