4 FABLE.
IN THE MANNER OF Mr.. GAY.


From Beigrdria
How much would end IN mode abrupt,
If listeners might but interrupt!
Once in corner Of the lawn,
Ere folks were stirring with the dawn,
Tortoise of didactic habits
Addressed some half-a-dozen Rabbits.
Il; YVES q Tortoise who. It's said,
Contrived to break wise mans headJ
Since then the sect, report AYERS,
Have set up for Philosophers.
No harm in this one could be found;
He weighed SO much; was so much round;
Not slower than his kin, or quicker.
although his shell was s0mew hat thlcBerli
And wearing Just that look of Thought
Which means prOfundty,-Or Don2hb
NV theme (he said Is PrOmptltude.'
He stretched his throat, and thus pursued:
In this discourse | hope to bring
Before You PrOmptitude the 1hlngj
Next, If nv limits space afford,
SHALL take Pr0mPttade the Werdj
Lastly to make the meaning better,
! shall consider every letter.
And first. my Friends, however viewed,
How beautiful is Pr0mphtude!
How are we quickened reused, renewed,
BY dwelling upon Pr0mpntude!
In short, how much may we discover
By simply saying the word overl
How much too, IN this vale below,
To this one quality we Owe
Twas Pr0mPtitude the battles won
OF Caesar. and NapOleonj
Bv PrOmp itude to-day we boast
The blessings of the Penny Post;
BY Promptitade II dare affirml
The early bird secures the worm
The Rabbits are docile race,
And patient under commonplace;
But here, one rather puZae-pated
In Gallo style 'interpellated';
If PromptitRde so much can do,
Why don't you try the practice, too
This was, as Hamlet saws, "a hit;
Clergy was posed by Mother HH.
The Tortoise the horizon scanned;
He had no repartee at hand;
SO, finding inspiration fail,
He drew his head in. then his tail.
His audience scampered Off IN gleei
