From the Church of England's on-line "Daily Office of Morning Prayer": "Three things are stately in their stride; four are stately in their gait: the lion, which is mightiest among wild animals and does not turn back before any; the strutting rooster; the he-goat; and a king among his people."
Abba Jonathan says: "cultivate a stately gait I did, until John the Dwarf told me like a rooster I walked, so give up on that I did, but better a rooster than a he-goat, right?"
