THE WOODCHUCK’S PORTRAIT.

Sit still, Mr. Woodchuck,

As still as can be,

Till the picture is finished

And then you shall see.

.

It is not every woodchuck

Who has such a chance

As this set before him,

His worth to enhance.

Now, in that land there dwelt a man, the Green Knight he was called,

Who by his strength and magic arts a lady fair enthralled,

And kept in prison dark and strong, and none could set her free;

Not even Valentine prevailed, with all his bravery.
