THE BANDOG by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY MOPSER?
Last Line: WHEN CIVILLY ADDRESSED.
Has anybody seen my Mopser? --
A comely dog is he,
With hair of the colour of a Charles the Fifth,
And teeth like ships at sea,
His tail it curls straight upwards,
His ears stand two abreast,
And he answers to the simple name of Mopser,
When civilly addressed.
