It is an admirable satire upon half the labored criticisms of Shakspeare with which the world has been deluged: "Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed; Thrice, and once the hedge-pig whined!"

Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed. 2d Witch.

"The grassy clods now calved; now half appear'd The tawny lion, pawing to get free His hinder parts, then springs as broke from bonds, And rampant shakes his brinded mane."

The Grassy Clods now calv'd; and half appear'd The tawny Lyon, pawing to get free His hinder Parts; then springs, as broke from Bonds, And, rampant, shakes aloft, his brinded Main!

From eastern hills a grisly troop descends, Whose war song wild the shuddering concave rends; Cloak'd in a tiger's hide their grim chief towers, And apes the brinded god his tribe adores.
