[2137] Halts suddenly and begins
to sing loudly

[2138] A dog came in -

[2139] Having begun too high he
stops, clears his throat, resumes.

[2140] A dog came in the kitchen
And stole a crust of bread.
[2141] Then cook up with the ^{[place = overwritten] a} ladle
And beat him till he was dead.

[2142] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb -

[2143] He stops, broods, resumes.

[2144] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb
And wrote upon the tombstone
For the eyes of dogs to come:

[2145] A dog came in the kitchen
and stole a crust of bread.
[2146] Then cook up with a ladle
And beat him till he was dead.

[2147] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb -

[2148] He stops, [2149] broods, resumes.
