Th BIRDS, the BEASTS, and ^ BAT
A FABL E.
A WAR broke out in former days,
(If all is tree that ^o? fay*)
Bew.en the Birds that haunt the grove.
And Bealls that wild in so eds rove.
(A F>wl rhat fwi^ in waters clear,
Or Birds roar mount aloft in air,
Fr in ev'ry tribe v^ft numbers came
T> tight for freedom or for fame:
7b Beads from dens and caverns deep,
F on Vijays I<w and mounta ns steep,
In dread array -ffembled flood,
Ar 1 graih their teeth and thirst for blood,,
Toe Bat, iialt bird, fart beast, was there.
Nor wu'd for tki> or tht declare,
Waiting ti I conquest should decide
WAch was the Itrongeft, fafeit fide;
Depe ding on his doubtful from
1 o screen him from th' impending ft?rm.
With p ioted beats and talons long,
WT I hon,y f,urs and p.niohs strong,
' he feather'd race, at fi if ''is laid,
In fieice Ann t such hav.ck made
That, panic ft uck, 'heir foes retreat
Amaz'd —and vi&'ry leem'd c mpleat.
0. which the Eat, with squeaking tone,
Crie« 6 ~ Bravo, Birds, the d>.y's our own;
“ For know I'm proud to elai n a place
6s Amorgrt vour bold aTpi ing race;
66 With leathern wings I skim the air,
" And am a Bird, tho' clean'd in hair."
But row the Berfts afham'd of fl ght,
Wih raided force renew the fight.
With fharpen'd teeth, uplifted paws,
With thteat'nhg horns and fpreadrog clax%
Boldy advance—, sh on the fray,
And claim the hon urs of the day.
The Bt, now hrv'iing to and fro,
Obfeiv'd how things were like to go ;
C re udrs those bert, who bell can fight,
And birks the (horgeft pattv right.
" Posh on, (Ays he) urs is the day,
" We'f driv* these Rebel Birds away
" rd rogn u^em —for who but we
." O' ev h ard " the Lords should be.
" Th r t I'm aße H 1 can make cut
" B > aors ftto'ng, beyond a doubt—
“ With ears ard fur ''would be ab Ord
66 IV c a thing like roe a Bird.
6 Each son and dauv? ter of my house
“ Is fill'd at least & flying meufe."
icats uncertain is the fate
Of war and enterprises g r eat,
Nor can the wi'ert hea s forefee
W: ich file at Est will viams be.
Tre Bealls exp' irg, phfh'd too far
Tb<ir Rte adva. tage in the war;
sme of success, inu t the fo^,
JV, fe therfbergth and carele's grow.
,neßi ds not vanquish'd, but dismay'd,
T l-& their force, new pow'rs display'd,
Their chief the Eagle, leads them on,
And with freffi rage the war's begun. #
N w, in their urn, the Beasts mult yield,
And to the vigors eave the fied;
Routed they fl+ diiprfe, divide,
Ard in 'hi native caverns hi ri e.
Oce m;re the Ba; ^h c u fly voice
Ad're sd the Birds— ' much I rej ice
" In ,rur fuccris and come to clam
o My share of conquest and o' Tme."
Th Birds the faith efs wretch de pile—
He ce traitor, hence, theEgle cries,
Nor dare, as you just vengeance fear,
Am ng ( or honour'd tanks appear.
Nor Wolf'd the Hearts the exile own—
Avaunt, la'd they—mongrel begone.
Be lafti g infamy his due
Who Hands to nei her pa r ty true.
Since then, the Bat in f me old died
Hides his dilhonourable he«d;
Nor dares his leathern wings display
From riling morn to fettig day;
But when the gloomy shades of night
Screens his vile form from ev'ry fights
In 'earcb of food he falhes our
Despis'd, unvoted flits about,
Then to I :s dreary cell retu ns,
And his just fa e in filer.ee mourns.
'rTr^/ 7 us too m%, like the Bat,
Inc ire to this Ji e or to that
,s infreft le^s —or to it to fee
Pitch part, tv': the flrongeft be.
Let such o'd Ejop'sjab e take,
An: conscience th' eftfe^tkon make.
