Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30: IV. For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour

For the mouse is a creature

Of great personal valor

For this is a true case

Cat takes female mouse

Male mouse will not skip up

But that, threatening and daring

If you will let her go

I will engage you as prodigious

A creature as you are

For the mouse is a creature

Of great personal valor

For the mouse is of inhospitable
