FLORIAN'S FABLES.

FABLE XXXIII.
THE LEARNED COLLEGIANS.

An owl drawn from his hiding-place
By students in pursuit of knowledge,
Was made to show his sapient face
Within the precincts of a college.
There quarter'd with a cat and goose,
He of the privilege made use
To go with them the whole course through.
