With reason rare, + He searched along the dusty ground + To see where footprints could be found, + When he with keen instinctive nose + Discerned the course of Orrin's toes! + + Then light and hope began to rise + And cheer the darkness of his skies, + While slow he kept the lonely road + Which led him safe to his abode. + Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock + When lo! was heard a scratch or knock. + "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear! + _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_" + Then up sprang Orrin with a bound, + And welcomed home his truant hound, + Whose downcast eye and trembling frame + Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame. + + But Todd in sweet forgiving mood + Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food, + And bade him now find rest in sleep, + And thus forget his sorrows deep. + Then Tuff in silence ate his meal, + But made by looks this sad appeal: + "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer, + There's none on earth as you so dear; + For all the trouble I have brought + I am not worthy of your thought, + And would receive a just return + Should you my presence coldly spurn, + Or from me turn with angry frown + And let me in despair sink down. + I will not plead in self-defence + Nor try to prove my innocence, + But truth requires that I should say + How I was duped and led astray + By cunning dog, who boldly claimed + He'd seen my home ere I was named-- + Had heard of Tuffy Todd before + When passing by our cottage door! + He led me captive at his will + And made me suffer direst ill, + Which was no more than I deserved, + Who from the path of duty swerved. + I have my sins and woes confessed, + And ask forgiveness, peace and rest. + Oh grant the mercy which I crave + Or I shall find an early grave!" + + To such petition all unused, + With faltering words and eyes suffused, + Kind Orrin made this brief reply: + "The same true friends are you and I; + As we have ever been before + We will be now and evermore. + And since you mourn this first offence + With deep and humble penitence, + I grant forgiveness full and free, + And trust no lapse again to see." + + To banish care and doubt and fear + And waken hope and faith and cheer, + Good Orrin, with a tact supreme, + From great to small then changed his theme. + "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun + I'll see what can for you be done. + There comes just now this happy thought-- + For you a collar shall be bought, + That if perchance you go astray + You will be known, though far away. + On it must be inscribed your name + And Latin words to give you fame! + _Nil desperandum_, they shall be, + And from despair may you be free!" + + What more did pass between these friends, + The curtain now around descends; + Their mutual joys, their mutual woes, + The poet's pen may not disclose. + To dog and master, both so true, + Long life and peace, and our adieu. + + Now turning from the gay or sad, + This moral we will simply add: + Ye maidens fair and comely youth, + Accept the words of love and truth: + _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_ + _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_ + _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE, + _These are the friends we name for you._ + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's Tuffy Todd's Adventure, by Samuel Doggerel + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 41615 *** diff --git a/41615-8.txt b/41615-8.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 3ab9664..0000000 --- a/41615-8.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,844 +0,0 @@ -The Project Gutenberg EBook of Tuffy Todd's Adventure, by Samuel Doggerel - -This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with -almost no restrictions whatsoever.

With reason rare, - He searched along the dusty ground - To see where footprints could be found, - When he with keen instinctive nose - Discerned the course of Orrin's toes! - - Then light and hope began to rise - And cheer the darkness of his skies, - While slow he kept the lonely road - Which led him safe to his abode. - Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock - When lo! was heard a scratch or knock. - "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear! - _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_" - Then up sprang Orrin with a bound, - And welcomed home his truant hound, - Whose downcast eye and trembling frame - Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame. - - But Todd in sweet forgiving mood - Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food, - And bade him now find rest in sleep, - And thus forget his sorrows deep. - Then Tuff in silence ate his meal, - But made by looks this sad appeal: - "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer, - There's none on earth as you so dear; - For all the trouble I have brought - I am not worthy of your thought, - And would receive a just return - Should you my presence coldly spurn, - Or from me turn with angry frown - And let me in despair sink down. - I will not plead in self-defence - Nor try to prove my innocence, - But truth requires that I should say - How I was duped and led astray - By cunning dog, who boldly claimed - He'd seen my home ere I was named-- - Had heard of Tuffy Todd before - When passing by our cottage door! - He led me captive at his will - And made me suffer direst ill, - Which was no more than I deserved, - Who from the path of duty swerved. - I have my sins and woes confessed, - And ask forgiveness, peace and rest. - Oh grant the mercy which I crave - Or I shall find an early grave!" - - To such petition all unused, - With faltering words and eyes suffused, - Kind Orrin made this brief reply: - "The same true friends are you and I; - As we have ever been before - We will be now and evermore. - And since you mourn this first offence - With deep and humble penitence, - I grant forgiveness full and free, - And trust no lapse again to see." - - To banish care and doubt and fear - And waken hope and faith and cheer, - Good Orrin, with a tact supreme, - From great to small then changed his theme. - "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun - I'll see what can for you be done. - There comes just now this happy thought-- - For you a collar shall be bought, - That if perchance you go astray - You will be known, though far away. - On it must be inscribed your name - And Latin words to give you fame! - _Nil desperandum_, they shall be, - And from despair may you be free!" - - What more did pass between these friends, - The curtain now around descends; - Their mutual joys, their mutual woes, - The poet's pen may not disclose. - To dog and master, both so true, - Long life and peace, and our adieu. - - Now turning from the gay or sad, - This moral we will simply add: - Ye maidens fair and comely youth, - Accept the words of love and truth: - _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_ - _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_ - _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE, - _These are the friends we name for you._ - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's Tuffy Todd's Adventure, by Samuel Doggerel - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE *** - -***** This file should be named 41615-8.txt or 41615-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/6/1/41615/ - -Produced by Greg Bergquist, Richard 361 and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

D. - - Philadelphia, Nov. 22, 1886. - - - - - TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE. - - - There is a little dog whose name - Is Tuffy Todd, who has the same - Wise look as many a dog you've met; - And is a well-bred house-dog pet, - But quaintly called in rhyme a hound, - To please the poet's ear for sound. - Round as a mole, he's fat and fair, - And robed in coat of whitest hair; - His soft brown eyes are bright and clear, - His little ears are quick to hear. - He has a kind expressive face, - With every feature full of grace; - In disposition meek and mild, - He's gentle as a little child; - But has his own peculiar way, - As all who hear will surely say. - - He is to people so polite, - You'd think he'd never bark or bite, - But strangers climbing up the hill - Will shout in vain: "You hound, be still!" - And traveler late in midnight dark - Is sure to hear Tuff's loudest bark, - While tramps who come about the yard - Must flee or face a valiant guard. - - Although he has a host of friends, - To them he rarely condescends, - And their caresses kindly made - Are with indifference coldly paid. - He lives for Master Orrin Todd - And worships him as household god; - With him Tuff wildly romps and plays, - And from his side but seldom strays. - At times when Orrin goes away - To tarry but a single day, - He bids his Tuffy stay behind - And try to have a peaceful mind. - But Tuff, so sad and desolate, - Lies down alone to meditate; - Or seeks the porch--a sunny place-- - To watch for Todd's returning face, - Or wait until the voice so dear - Shall fall like music on his ear. - Unmoved by other sight or sound - He lies as if in thought profound. - Call him, he seems both deaf and dumb - Unless you say: "Ho! _Orrin's_ come!" - When quick, like one from sleep, he springs, - And flies, as swift as bird on wings, - To meet his master and his friend,-- - Then Tuffy's mourning has an end. - His ways eccentric may appear, - But in the sequel they'll be clear. - - Now little Tuff, it may seem strange, - Had lived at home, nor thought of change; - But one calm morning clear and bright, - As if new visions filled his sight, - To _Griffin's Corners_ begged a ride - In Orrin's wagon by his side. - Good Master Todd could not deny - The pleading of poor Tuffy's eye, - And said: "Jump in and take a seat, - And you shall have a royal treat; - For though we go by mountain road - And do not want a heavy load, - Our sprightly horses strong and true - Will never mind a mite like you." - Then Tuff leaped in and sat erect - As if to show his intellect, - When off they rode with hearts of glee, - And warmer friends you rarely see. - - Now Orrin thought it would be nice - To give his Tuffy some advice: - "Be careful, Tuffy mine," said he, - "We go where many dangers be; - Turn not aside nor leave my track - Till setting sun shall warn us back. - In town you will a stranger be; - Again I say: Go not from me." - To which the simple dog replied: - "Oh, never will I leave thy side, - But follow where thy footsteps lead, - Thou dearest friend in time of need." - (Our Tuff can talk like dogs of old - Of whom in fable AEsop told.) - - Then Todd, to pass away the time, - Thus entertained his guest in rhyme: - "I've always made you stay at home - And never let you widely roam, - Because I feared you might be lost - And by the world be rudely tossed; - Or lest in some unlucky way - You might be hurt as on that day-- - That doleful, direful day,--when life - And death seemed balanced in the strife. - You then were but a little pup, - And with a snail could scarce keep up, - But seeing Flora's gentle pace, - You thought with her you'd run a race! - And as she moved along the road - And pulled with care her heavy load, - You chanced to fall beneath the wheel - Which crushed your leg and made you reel. - O dreadful sight! O fearful cry! - A mangled limb! no surgeon nigh! - I stanched the blood which freely flowed, - And in my arms--a tiny load-- - I bore you safely to our door; - Then said: 'You shall go out no more - Until your leg is fully healed, - Or death shall take you from the field!' - I set and bandaged well your limb, - (Should surgeon doubt, I'd challenge him,) - And laid you on an easy bed - And saw that you were kindly fed. - I closely watched you night and day - And did not fail for you to pray! - When you had reached the third long week, - Thank God! (with reverence do I speak) - 'Twas plain you needed nothing more - Than just to walk about the floor. - At length, when people thought you dead, - You left your room and little bed; - "He's _tough_," they said, "as hickory rod," - And called you "_Tough_," then Tuffy Todd; - And thus you see it strangely came - You have a soft and pretty name. - Now since to perfect health restored, - To thank me well you can afford." - - Tuff answered: "Do you doubt, dear friend, - That I shall thank you to the end? - Since I was struck by wheel so rude, - Have I not shown you gratitude? - Have I not always been to you - Obedient, faithful, good and true? - Through evil and through good report - I've never failed in my support! - Forsaking friends, let none deny - For you I've lived, for you I'll die; - What care I for the world around - When all my joy in you is found? - Please pardon if too bold I seem - And hold me firm in your esteem." - - "I did not mean to grieve your heart, - Good Tuff, nor cause a single smart, - But just to have a little play, - I thought I'd see what you would say - In answer to my sober talk, - While slow the horses onward walk." - - Conversing thus as friend with friend, - At last they reach their journey's end. - Todd's heart with anxious fears beset, - Foreboding peril to his pet, - He turns to Tuffy: "You've been warned - In language clear and unadorned, - To stay by me and to beware - Of dangers lurking everywhere. - Although no prophet born or bred, - Though on my mind no light is shed, - I fear from knowledge of your race, - _The day will end in your disgrace_." - - Out jumped brave Tuff and Farmer Todd, - But scarce had gone a single rod - Before they heard: "Bow-wow! Friend Tuff! - For that's your name I'm sure enough; - How glad I am to see your face - And give to you a friend's embrace; - Now while in town, stay thou with me, - And boon companions we will be." - Then Tuff, (poor "Innocent abroad," - Who never dreamed of any fraud,) - Replied: "Perhaps we've met before, - I'll take your word and ask no more: - It would not seem polite, I know, - Should I refuse with you to go." - Away they marched, as large as life, - Their hearts with hope and pleasure rife, - And wandered in their heedless play, - Through many a dark and devious way. - Unchecked they raced and chased around, - A lawless cur and recreant hound; - They took no note of time, nor cared - How far they strayed nor how they fared; - For Tuff could not foresee his woes - Till darkness did around him close. - - Oh, Tuffy, born and reared in ease, - With bread enough to eat and cheese, - Where now thy master's tender care? - Where now the bed thou erst didst share? - Thy new-made friend all false will be - In time of thy adversity! - Upon the cold, cold ground to-night - No sleep shall come ere morning light, - Nor morsel sweet for hungry maw, - Nor peace for nature's broken law! - - The westering sun had low declined, - When homeward with an easy mind - Good Orrin turned his horses' feet, - Expecting there his dog to meet; - But drawing near, no Tuff was found - To greet him with accustomed sound. - Poor Orrin could not sleep a wink, - But lay awake all night to think - How sad the fate of Tuff might be, - Who late was in prosperity. - - Back, in the early morning bright, - To Griffin's Orrin took his flight, - But thoughts of Tuff so filled his mind - No other thought a place could find, - And as he passed each neighbor's door - 'Twas little known the load he bore. - The dogs ran out and barked so bold - They wakened echoes in the wold, - While ducks and geese joined in the strife - And quacked and screamed for their dear life. - Then proudly crowed vain chanticleer: - "I am, you see, without a peer, - Let none within my realm intrude - To scare my hens and little brood." - But patient kine in farmyard pent - Were mute with meek-eyed wonderment, - While grazing sheep on hillside near, - Heard all and said: "We need not fear;" - Each mother called her own dear lamb, - Who answered back: "Oh, here I am!" - The squirrel with his nimble feet - Now quickly found a safe retreat, - And from the wall, or limb on high, - Peeped slyly out as Todd went by. - The birds from out the leafy trees, - So gently swayed by morning breeze, - Poured forth their notes in merry lay - And sang: "Good speed and happy day!" - And insect world, on joyous wing, - In sunlight clear did sweetly sing, - Or hum in myriad tones so gay: - "We cheer the traveler on his way." - But ferns and flowers in wayside beds - With meek surprise did lift their heads - And whisper low: "Our friend's in haste - And has no time on us to waste. - In days gone by he'd stop awhile - To praise our charms and make us smile, - Or take us in his gentle hands - As if rare gifts from foreign lands." - - And thus each loving, living thing - Had kindly thought or word to bring, - Which proved a balm to soothe Todd's soul - As he moved onward to his goal. - - The livelong day through street and lane - He sought his dog, but sought in vain; - From house to house he asked each man, - "Where's Tuff? Pray tell me if you can." - "Why, Tuff has gone with Bruno Brown, - A dog," they said, "of poor renown." - It was enough to turn one's brain - To always hear this sad refrain. - - Retracing now in twilight drear - His weary steps, Todd dropped a tear - And took with heavy heart the way - His feet had pressed at opening day, - And walked in doubt and gloom along - Where late he sang his cheerful song,-- - Where frisked his faithful dog with glee - And kept him joyful company. - - Poor Tuff, a wanderer forlorn, - Now loud bewailed that he was born! - - For though in darkness and in grief, - There came no friend to his relief. - But being born he did not care - Just then to die. With reason rare, - He searched along the dusty ground - To see where footprints could be found, - When he with keen instinctive nose - Discerned the course of Orrin's toes! - - Then light and hope began to rise - And cheer the darkness of his skies, - While slow he kept the lonely road - Which led him safe to his abode. - Scarce twelve had struck the kitchen clock - When lo! was heard a scratch or knock. - "Oh!" said his wife: "Oh, Orrin dear! - _The lost is found; our Tuff is here!_" - Then up sprang Orrin with a bound, - And welcomed home his truant hound, - Whose downcast eye and trembling frame - Betrayed a sense of guilt and shame. - - But Todd in sweet forgiving mood - Spread Tuff a couch and gave him food, - And bade him now find rest in sleep, - And thus forget his sorrows deep. - Then Tuff in silence ate his meal, - But made by looks this sad appeal: - "Oh friend, in sorrow and in cheer, - There's none on earth as you so dear; - For all the trouble I have brought - I am not worthy of your thought, - And would receive a just return - Should you my presence coldly spurn, - Or from me turn with angry frown - And let me in despair sink down. - I will not plead in self-defence - Nor try to prove my innocence, - But truth requires that I should say - How I was duped and led astray - By cunning dog, who boldly claimed - He'd seen my home ere I was named-- - Had heard of Tuffy Todd before - When passing by our cottage door! - He led me captive at his will - And made me suffer direst ill, - Which was no more than I deserved, - Who from the path of duty swerved. - I have my sins and woes confessed, - And ask forgiveness, peace and rest. - Oh grant the mercy which I crave - Or I shall find an early grave!" - - To such petition all unused, - With faltering words and eyes suffused, - Kind Orrin made this brief reply: - "The same true friends are you and I; - As we have ever been before - We will be now and evermore. - And since you mourn this first offence - With deep and humble penitence, - I grant forgiveness full and free, - And trust no lapse again to see." - - To banish care and doubt and fear - And waken hope and faith and cheer, - Good Orrin, with a tact supreme, - From great to small then changed his theme. - "My dog," quoth he, "with morning sun - I'll see what can for you be done. - There comes just now this happy thought-- - For you a collar shall be bought, - That if perchance you go astray - You will be known, though far away. - On it must be inscribed your name - And Latin words to give you fame! - _Nil desperandum_, they shall be, - And from despair may you be free!" - - What more did pass between these friends, - The curtain now around descends; - Their mutual joys, their mutual woes, - The poet's pen may not disclose. - To dog and master, both so true, - Long life and peace, and our adieu. - - Now turning from the gay or sad, - This moral we will simply add: - Ye maidens fair and comely youth, - Accept the words of love and truth: - _Not all is gold with golden gleam,_ - _Not all are friends who friendly seem;_ - _The_ TRIED, _the_ TRUSTED _and the_ TRUE, - _These are the friends we name for you._ - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's Tuffy Todd's Adventure, by Samuel Doggerel - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK TUFFY TODD'S ADVENTURE *** - -***** This file should be named 41615.txt or 41615.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/6/1/41615/ - -Produced by Greg Bergquist, Richard 361 and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
