FABLES for the FANCIFUL
No. I.
THE SPARROW AND THE GOLDFINCH.
One day, while in my varden•chatr I sat,
Two plumy people joined in friendly chat:
The facts were these, as far as I couli see,
A goldfinch perched upon my cherry-tree;
Soon aft• r which, a lowly sparrow came,
Presuming he'd a right to do the same,
And having neared his neilhbour, inch by inch,
"Chip," said the sparrow, " Twittle." said the finch.
A pause ensued, as oft it does with us,
But soon the sparrow broke the silence thus :
" I often wonder, sir, indeed I do,
V. by I'm viewed as so much less than you ;
In vain do I endeavour to eng ige,
I've never been considered worth a cage ;
But as for you, wherever you may fiv,
Ma kind regards you with a curious eye.
Pray what's the reason you are valued so,
Is it your song, or what, I wish to know ?"
" Nay " said the well-dressed goldfinch, " I presume,
'Tie not my song, but my superior plume ;
'Tis true, my friend, I've learned to sing a little,
But scarcely any more than • twittle, twittle.'
You may depend, Sir, the way I'm decked—
Respectable appearance gains respect ;
Look at my golden wings, my scarlet cap,
You see I'm quite a gentlemanly chap;
If you could wear my coat you'd shortly know
To what extent appearances will go."
Mere ceased the entertaining conversation,
While I myself supplied
THE A PPLIC XTI DN.
Since personal avearance goes so far,
I'll more than ever prove what Moses are.
Moses at d Solis famed Mart is just the place
To furnish fashions of superior grace ;
The fit of Moses, true to half•an•inch,
Will prove the language of tee golden-finch.
Whoever may in oses' dress he decked,
Will meet with honour and with due respect ;
And this qssertien nobody will mock,
On viewin, Messrs. Moses' summer stock ;
And thus concludes my unassuming fable,
Which I've improved as well as I was able.
