How the Raven Became Black.
A LESSON TO rALE-nEARERs.
There's clever classic story,
Such ns oets used to write
(Y may find the tale in Ovid,)
That the raven was once white.
White as yonder swan a-sailng
At this moment IN the moat,
Till the bird for misbehavior,
Lost one day his snowy coat.
"Ravcn white was once the saying,
Till an accide t. nlack!
Spoiled its mean n =, nm Thereof er
1t was changed to "Raven-black.
Shall tell you how it happened
That the change was brought about'
List the story of Cotonis,
And you'll fin the secret out
Young Coronis, faircst maiden
Of Thessalia girlish train,
Whom Apollo loved an courted,
Loved and courted not in vain.
Flirted with another lover
$50 at least the tor, goes)
And was wont to meet him slyly
Underneath the biushng rose
Nhreupon the bird of Phmbus,
VITO their meetings chlncel to view,
Went in haste unto his MISTER;
" cnt and 10 i bin all lie knew;
Told him how is dear Coronis,
Fa Sc and f,it less as colld be,
Plainly Lowell another fellow -
If he doubted come and see!
Whcrcupon Apollo, angry
Thus to find himself betrayed,
With his silver bow and arrow
Went and shot the wretched maid!
Now when he perceived her dyi g,
lie was ricken to the heart,
And to stop her mortal bleeding,
Tried his famous healing art!
But in vain; the god ofPhysic
Had no an iiote; alhck
He who took her off 50 deity
Couldn't bring the maiden back!
Angry with himself apollo.
Yet more angry with his bird,
For n moment stood in silence
In potent to speak word.
Then he turned upon the Raven,
"Wauton babblcr. see thy fate!
Messenger OF IN ne no longer,
Go to ,iades with thy pratc.
"Wcpry Pluto with thy tattle!
lithpr. monster come not back;
And go to matoa thy disposition
Lencelorth be thJ nlnmagc black''
MORAL.
When you re tempted to make mischief,
1t is wsest to refuse;
People are not apt to fancy
bearers of unwelcome news
SECOND MORAL.
Something of the pitch you handle
On your fingers will remain;
As the aven's tale of darkness
Gave the b ri asting stain!
