LET THE LION DOG BE SMALL
LET IT WEAR THE SWELLING
CAPE OF DIGNITY AROUND ITS NECK
LET IT DISPLAY THE BILLOWING
STANDARD OF POMP ABOVE ITS BACK.
LET ITS FACE BE BLACK
LET ITS FOREFRONT BE SHAGGY
LET ITS FOREHEAD BE STRAIGHT
AND LOW.
LET ITS EYES BE LARGE AND
LUMINOUS
LET ITS EARS BE SET LIKE
THE SAILS OF A WAR JUNK
LET ITS NOSE BE LIKE THAT
OF THE MONKEY GOD OF THE HINDUS.
LET ITS FORELEGS BE BENT,
SO THAT IT SHALLNOT DESIRE TO WANDER FAR,
OR LEAVE THE IMPERIAL PRECINTS.
LET ITS BODY BE SHAPED
LIKE THAT OF A HUNTING LION SPYING FOR ITS PREY.
LET ITS FEET BE TUFTED
WITH PLENTIFUL HAIRTHAT ITS FOOTFALL MAY BE SOUNDLESS...
...SO SHALL IT REMAIN...
