First lines

There once liv'd a young man who was very poor. For all that he had was a Cat; His food being gone, he could get no more, And so he resolv'd to kill that.

Now Puss from the cupboard came out and thus spoke, "Grieve not my good master, I pray, Provide me with boots, and a bag--'tis no joke-- Your fortune I'll make then straightway."
