The Talking Beasts_ A Book of Fable Wisdom - Nora Archibald Smith

1922

    "Accept,    young   Prince, the moral   lay

    And in  these   tales   mankind survey;

    With    early   virtues plant   your    breast

    The specious    arts    of  vice    detest."

JOHN GAY TO HIS HIGHNESS WILLIAM, DUKE OF CUMBERLAND
