And through their whole lifetime produce every ill. 
    Perhaps it may be, before we are aware,
    They breathe in a pestilence, borne on the air. 
    Perhaps, for the nerves of us monkeys are weak,
    In jumping, or leaping, some bone they may break
    In their breasts.”  Here, for weeping, she scarcely could speak,
    And she snatched up her little one long to her breast;
    With such vehement love the poor victim she pressed,
    That all its complainings and troubles were stilled;
    Alas the poor mother! her pet she had killed.

    Said the bear,—­“No longer I think you need seek
    For the cause why your young ones are sickly and weak;
    It is not the milk, nor the fruit, nor the air,
    Nor fault of the stomach, and ’tis no lack of care. 
    Your blind fondness it is that cuts short their days. 
    How is it that we such multitudes raise? 
    As soon as our young ones are able to run,
    We take them out with us to play in the sun. 
    We take them through floods, through heat, and through cold,
    And so they are healthy, and live to be old.”
