THE PEACOCK.
Is it right, Mr. Peacock, to strut about so?
Your plumage is fine 'tis allowed;
And had you but painted that beautiful tail,
You would then, with some reason, feel proud.
Many bright little flowers, as pretty as you,
Are found in some shady retreat.
Go learn of the rose-buds and violets, too,
Their modesty renders them sweet.
