IN ALL MODESTY...
Three Griffons we - some spell it Griffin
(We hear superior persons sniffin')
Our owners say we're lovelier far
Than our namesake at Temple Bar.
We're blend of Pinscher, Pug and Spaniel,
Of lions not afraid - Like Daniel,
And red, or black, or black - and - tan,
A Griffon is a gentleman
Or perfect lady, as you please.
What qualities compare to these?
(From The Rowland Johns Dog Book, first published 1933)
