THE FOX AND THE BEES.

A FABLE.

A Fox, who in mischief took special delight,
Crept out of his den to seek food for his spite ;
And chancing to pass where a hive of Bees stood,
Thus accosted 'the busy industrious brood—
" How I pity your fate, ye poor ignorant slaves !
Thus to labour condemned from your birth to your graves,
And for what ?—To support, at expence of your lives,
The lordly luxurious possessor of hives !
Oh ! had you discernment the folly to sec
Of leading a life of such hardship, like me,
You'd rid yourselves soon of the infamous yoke—
Your fetters of bondage would quickly he broke—
Resolve then the rights of free Bees to obtain—
Resolve—and you'll find what a blessing you'll gain."

The Bees buzz'd applause—then unite in full swarm
To follow sage Reynard's grand plan of Reform ;
And rising aloft, after liberty drive,
Disdaining the rules and restraints of the hive.

But now when the Fox saw them canglit in his snare—
While the tumult of anarchy rose in the air, •
Back slily sneak'd he to the hive they forsook,
And soon all the sweets it contained from it took;
Thus leaving the dupes of his craft to lament
That e'er to his counsel an ear they had lent :
For hunger began now to pinch them full sore,
And.the honey was gone that they left in their store;
Another misfortune befel them beside,
Foul weather came on—and of want the whole died !
