But as Froggie was crossing over a brook

A duck and a drake are diving in search of prey

The drake thinks he has a right to share

Between them both the frog undergoes a variety of tortures

The duck prevents the drake from swallowing him entire

Whilst they are throttling each other the frog bolts

The frog leaps into the pump-trough; the ducks search after him

The frog runs for his life, pursued by the ducks

The frog has the good sense to go where the ducks cannot follow him

The ducks are unable to get their heads out, so there they have to stay quacking

The poulterer comes by and carries off the ducks

She softly swallowed him and made no mention

Some punishment is due for this transgression

The Ducks cannot get through the grating

'Quack,' quoth the duck, 'splash' was the fall

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook, / A terrible duck came and gobbled him up
