MORAL EMBLEMS I: 4 by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SEE IN THE PRINT, HOW MOVED BY WHIM
Last Line: JOYS TO OBSERVE HIS BOLD RESISTANCE.
Subject(s): BOOKS; READING;

See in the print, how moved by whim,
Trumpeting Jumbo, great and grim,
Adjusts his trunk, like a cravat,
To noose that individual's hat.
The sacred Ibis in the distance
Joys to observe his bold resistance.
