Alas! We are ridiculous animals.

Imitate the ass in his love to his master.

There are some who, if a cat accidentally comes into the room, though they neither see it nor are told of it, will presently be in a sweat and ready to die away.

An ape will be an ape, though clad in purple.

I hate the sight of monkeys; they remind me so of poor relations.
