Wonder which country is the dung beetle....

A 15-page political pamphlet from 1871 London: "Europa's menagerie and Britannia's 'bulls': A zoological survey of the political situation, from the Silver Streak to the Golden Horn, shewing how the boa-constrictor strangled the tiger-monkeys, and the 'bulls' had to keep an eye on the bears."

Possible lyric: "I used to travel and wander and stay out late / Now, I'm up all night and watchin' this gate."

Google-translated (from German) title of a book published in 1841:  "Songs of a Cosmopolitan Nightguard."

I gotta see these devices!

From mid-1800's London:  "The marvellous adventures and rare conceits of Master Tyll Owlglass: newly collected, chronicled and set forth in our English tongue by Kenneth R.H. Mackenzie and adorned with many most diverting and cunning devices by Alfred Crowquill."
