Versified by Mrs Clara Doty Bates	A
	-
	-
A miller had three sons	B
And on his dying day	C
He willed that all he owned should be	D
Shared by them in this way	C
The mill to this and the donkey to that	E
And to the youngest only the cat	E
	-
This last poor fellow of course	F
Thought it a bitter fate	G
With a cat to feed he should die indeed	H
Of hunger sooner or late	G
And he stormed with many a bitter word	I
Which Puss who lay in the cupboard heard	I
	-
She stretched and began to purr	J
Then came to her master's knee	D
And looking slyly up began	K
Pray be content with me	D
Get me a pair of boots ere night	L
And a bag and it will be all right	L
	-
The youth sighed heavy sighs	M
And laughed a scornful laugh	N
Of all the silly things I know	O
You're the silliest by half	N
Still after a space of doubt and thought	P
The pair of boots and the bag were bought	Q
	-
And Puss at the peep of dawn	R
Was out upon the street	S
With shreds of parsley in her bag	T
And the boots upon her feet	S
She was on her way to the woods for game	U
And soon to the rabbit warren came	U
	-
And the simple rabbits cried	V
The parsley smells like spring	W
And into the bag their noses slipped	X
And Pussy pulled the string	W
Only a kick and a gasp for breath	Y
And one by one they were choked to death	Y
	-
So Sly Boots bagged her game	U
And gave it an easy swing	W
Over her shoulder and starting off	Z
For the palace of the king	W
She found him upon his throne in state	G
While near him his lovely daughter sate	G
	-
Puss made a graceful bow	A2
No courtier could surpass	B2
And said I come to your Highness from	C2
The Marquis of Carabas	B2
His loyal love he sends to you	D2
With a tender rabbit for a stew	D2
	-
And the pretty princess smiled	E2
And the king said Many thanks	B2
And Puss strode off to her master's home	F2
Purring and full of pranks	B2
And cried I've a splendid plan for you	D2
Say nothing but do as I tell you to	D2
	-
To morrow at noon the king	W
And his beautiful daughter ride	V
And you must go as they draw near	G2
And bathe at the river side	V
The youth said Pooh but still next day	C
Bathed when the king went by that way	C
	-
Puss hid his dingy clothes	B2
In the marshy river grass	B2
And screamed when the king came into sight	L
The Marquis of Carabas	B2
My master is drowning close by	H2
Help help good king or he will die	H2
	-
Then servants galloped fast	I2
And dragged him from the water	J
'Tis the knight who sent the rabbit stew	D2
The king said to his daughter	J
And a suit of clothes was brought with speed	H
And he rode in their midst on a royal steed	H
	-
Meanwhile Puss in advance	B2
To the Ogre's palace fled	J2
Where he sat with a great club in his hand	K2
And a monstrous ugly head	J2
She mewed politely as she went in	L2
But he only grinned with a dreadful grin	L2
	-
I have heard it said she purred	J2
That with the greatest ease	B2
You change in the twinkling of an eye	H2
Into any shape you please	B2
Of course I can the Ogre cried	J2
And a roaring lion stood at her side	J2
	-
Puss shook like a leaf in her boots	B2
But said It is very droll	M2
Now please if you can change into a mouse	B2
He did And she swallowed him whole	M2
Then as the king and his suite appeared	J2
She stood on the palace porch and cheered	J2
	-
'Twas a grand old palace indeed	J2
Builded of stone and brass	B2
Welcome most noble ladies and lords	B2
To the Castle of Carabas	B2
Puss said with a sweeping courtesy	B2
And they entered and feasted royally	B2
	-
And the Marquis lost his heart	J2
At the beautiful princess' smile	N2
And the very next day the two were wed	J2
In wonderful state and style	N2
And Puss in Boots was their favorite page	O2
And lived with them to a good old age	O2
