Was all that he could draw,
Which rais'd new wonder in his brain
At this great Nongtongpaw.

PLATE VII.

A shepherd with his flock appears,
The sheep were large and fat,
Not understanding John, he hears,
But humbly doffs his hat.

For John with earnest looks began
To ask whose flock he saw:
At length he heard the poor old man
Cry — "Je vous n'entends pas."
