The Antelope. The Cantelope.

The Antelope and Cantelope Lie side by side upon the slope, And careless persons might, I fear, Mistake the melon for the deer. If you will tap the Cantelope, reposing on the ground, It does not move, but just emits a melon-choly sound; But should you try, however, to apply a stethoscope, And attempt this auscultation on the antlered Antelope, And should see an imitation of a very rapid flight, And should say, "It is the Antelope!" I think you would be right.
