Cat! who hast past thy grand climacteric?

Nay, look not down, nor lick thy dainty wrists-

For all the wheezy asthma-and for all

Thy tail's tip is nicked off-and though the fists

Of many a maid have given thee many a maul,

Still is that fur as soft as when the lists

In youth thou enter'dst on glass bottled wall. (John Keats)
