Jansy correctly spotted my error - - the cock only appears in the third
quatrain of the poem:

And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before
The Tavern shouted--"Open then the Door!
"You know how little while we have to stay,
And, once departed, may return no more."

My memory was lead astray by the opening pages of the edition which I've had
since childhood (the Peter Piper Press illustrated by Vera Bock). I'll send
the image separately.
