		<description><![CDATA[WHY STRIK&#039;ST THOU ME?

Why dost thou strike me?—Ever faithful
In service to thee do I live;
And often when thou wert in peril
My very utmost would I give;
My life I would lay down for thee!
Why strik&#039;st thou me?
In blustering storm and cruel Winter,
In murky night or through the day,
Obedient I have trotted by thee
And guarded thee along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE LITTLE WHITE DOG

Little white dog with the meek brown eyes,
Tell me the boon that most you prize.
Would a juicy bone meet your heart&#039;s desire?
Or a cozy rug by a blazing fire?
Or a sudden race with a truant cat?
Or a gentle word? Or a friendly pat?
Is the worn-out ball you have always near
The dearest of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE IRISH GREYHOUND

Behold this creature&#039;s form and state;
Which nature therefore did create,
That to the world might be exprest
What mien there can be in a beast;
And that we in this shape may find
A lion of another kind.
For this heroic beast does seem
In majesty to rival him,
And yet vouchsafes to man to show
Both service and submission, too.

		<description><![CDATA[THE DEAD BOY&#039;S PORTRAIT AND HIS DOG

Day after day I have come and sat
Beseechingly upon the mat,
Wistfully wondering where you are at.
Why have they placed you on the wall,
So deathly still, so strangely tall?
You do not turn from me, nor call.
Why do I never hear my name?
Why are you fastened in a frame?
You are the [...]]]></description>
