THE LOWS TERNMENE

A lion, who on state affairs was set,
Looked round about to form hii
cabinet.
A court, and Legislature too, was sought
For which the elephants to him wert
brought;
But, finding them SO few and incom.
plete,
The asses, too, were summoned to a
seat,
BY which the government, as it ap-
pears,
Found its majority in donkey's ears.
The lion-king was foolish, one would
say,
To scatter offices in such a way; :
For no one, surely, knew so well as he
That strength lies not with mere ma
jority,
But in this way his fathers ruled before
And what has been must be forever
more;
The heresy he hated to incur
was 10 be wiser than his fathers We're.
If folly in numbers wisdom fla sur
passes,
He would have folly and the herd of
asses!
And then, thought he, the elephants
discourse
Will neutralize the stupid asininity,
For wisdom, is of course, superior
force,
And with such denseness has no true
affinity;
But, oh! the asses folly took the lead, |
The elephants nobody cares to heed,
This shows how such rule all hope
harasses.
The elephants themselves gre,o duH as
asses
