Five ancient carp with their gold collars

He stood where monsieur stands, and he

History Of the Carp.
The historical truth of the carp appears
to be certain.
Louis XVI, youth of ingenious turn
CT mind, learned the trade Of clockmaker,
then turned to locksmithing. Given to
natural history, he meditated much on the
Icing lives attributed to elephants, turtles,
eagles, whales, sharks and carp. In the

He cut his name and the date on their
becks with jackknife such as every boy
has in his pocket. God only knows what
hecame OF the turtles. History Is silent.
Finally the young prince turned to the

Marie Antoinette, was later to erect the
delicious hamlet for playing peasant girl
and forgetting her irksome state.
