Answer 1

Years saw me still Acasto’s mansion grace,

The gentlest, fondest of the tabby race;

Before him frisking through the garden glade,

Or at his feet in quiet slumber laid;

Praised for my glossy back of zebra streak,

And wreaths of jet encircling round my neck;

Soft paws that ne’er extend the clawing nail,

The snowy whisker and the sinuous tail
