 On purpose, for pure merriment; And though the day Is known before, Yet frequently there is great store Of these Forgetfuls to be found, Who're sent to dance Moil Dixon's
 round:
 And having tried each shop and stall, And disappointed at them all,
 At lat some tells them of the cheat Then they return from the pursuit And straightway home with shame
 they run,
 And others laugh at what Is done. But 'tis thing to be disputed,
 Which is the greatest Fool reputed, The man that innoeently went, Or he that him design'dly sent

 "The oldest tradition affirms that such an infatuation attends the hrst day of April as no foresight can es- cApes. no vigilance can defeat Deceit is successful on that day out of the mouths of babes. Grave citizens have been bit upon it; usurers have lent their money on bad security, expe- rienced matrons have married very disappointing young fellows; mathe- maticians have missed the longitude and politicians preferment on that day" The French too have their All Fools Day, and call the person imposed up- on "an April Fish" Poisson d'Avril, perhaps a fish (the maekerell IS se- iected on account of it's being the season for catching mackerel, or that people awaking from the winter sea son. break forth from long slumber and go in pursuit of pleasures.
 Poisson" or Passion"
 Bellingen, in his Etymology of French Proverbs. explains the mean ing of the word poison he says it is corrupted from passion. As the Passion of our Savior took place about this time of the year and as Christ was sent backwards and forwards Co mock and torment him, that was from Annas to Caiaphas. from Caiaphas Co Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate, this ridiculous or impious custom took it's rise, by which we send about from one place to another such persons as we think proper subjects of our ridi- eule.
