William Cowper ["cooper"] wrote a poem about a "retired" one of these whose moral is "Beware of too sublime a sense / Of your own worth and consequence." One of these is described as a "timid pensioner of us Powers" in a poem which concludes that in the autumn shade it moulders where it played, Thomas Hardy's "Last Words to a Dumb Friend." Another of these is said to be "a mixture of gravity and waggery" and to worship God by "wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness" in some lines about Jeoffrey, which appear in Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart. One named Selima learns that all that glisters is not gold in a poem in which it drowns in a tub of goldfishes. FTP, name the kind of animal which figures in that poem by Thomas Grey, other poetic examples of which include Bustopher Jones, Rum Tum Tugger, and Macavity.
