Fact and Fancy.

Fact and Fancy.
Oh, Truth is mighty. we observe,
And to the top must climb.
The climbing needs a bit of nerve,
And takes a lot Of time.
Old Parson Weems, who used to dwell
Mid song all fancy free,
About George Washington would tell
Who chopped the cherry tree.
George Washington has left behind
Some memories worth while.
His wisdom should delight the mind,
And shield our hearts from guile.
We overlook his language clear
Which told the truth so we'll
And still believe the fables queer
That Parson Weems would tell!
