rnE ASS AND THE LARK.

THE ASS AND THE LARE.
An ass stopped still on hill one day
=. To list to the lark as he sang his lay,
And he said. That's sweet. but you bet I'll say
It's the worst OF songs. for only bray -
80 he wagged his tail and he Topped his ear
To shake out the sounds that be wept to hear,
Aud he raised his bray In jibe and ieer
That the lark profaned the days most dear.
He brayed aloud but he brayed in vain
For he could not drown the lark's sweet strain,
And the wonder grew as the ass sept brayn'
That his master did not keep him drayin'.
