Oliver Goldsmith, An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog
“ And swore the dog had lost his wits, To bite so good a man. The wound it seem'd both sore and sad To every christian eye; And while they swore the dog was mad, They swore the man would die But soon a wonder came to light, That show'd the rogues they lied— The man recover'd of the bite; The dog it was that died.
