FABLES for the FANCIFUL.—No. 111.
THE PDET AND THE 111.11 N.
Along the Medway's beauteous brink,
A poet strolled to gaze and think ;
When lo! an old romantic tower
Arrested him with mogic power.
The poet stood to gaze awile
Upon the antiquated pile ;
And while his raptured vision falls
Around the venerable walls,
He feels the Muses' secret power,
And thus addressed the ruined tower :
" Hail, fabric of the bygone days,
On thy rich scene I love to gaze ;
Like some fair picture dost thou seem,
Near Medway's undulating stream.
Those old, grey mouldering stones of thine
Inspire a fancy warm as mine ,
And thus I've owned the secret power,
Thou venerable ruined tower."
" Thanks," said the pile—for stones are able
To talk away, like bricks, in fable—
" Thanks, worthy poet ! many thanks,
For musing thus on Medway's banks ;
But really I'm surprised that you,
Who sing of Moses as you do—
Yes, I'm surprised, I must confes',
You did not touch upon my dress.
This ivy mantle, which you scan,
Acts as does Moses' dress on man.
Had you not been to Moses' Mart
For garments so extremely smart,
You'd look, from what I see of you,
Not quite so handsome as you do.
And this, applied to me, fond youth,
Is nothing but the naked truth.' "
The Bard had not a word to say,
But feeling guilty, sneaked away.
