THE MARKET-MAN'S LICENSE, OR THE FARMER'S APPEAL FROM A JACKASS TO THE MAYOR.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 138 ~ ~ ~
A Jackass, in the days of old, Dress'd in a lion's skin, Went forth to ape the lion bold, And raised a mighty din: His ass-ship's ears he could not hide; His roaring would not pass; The startled beasts his ears descried, And recognized the ass.
