A GENIUS.
(From the German of Claudius.)
"Friend Ass," said the Fox, as he met him one day,
"What can people mean?—Do you know what they say?"
"No, I don't," said the Ass; "nor I don't care, not I."
"Why, they say you're a GENIUS," was Reynard's reply.
"My stars!" muttered Jack, quite appall'd by the word,
"What can I have done that's so very absurd?"
Dedications (No. 17. p. 259.).—In Villaneuva's Dedication to the Duke of Medinaceli of his Origen Epocas y Progressos del Teatro Español (Madrid, 1802, sm. 4to.), the enumeration of the names, titles, and offices of his patron occupies three entire pages, and five lines of a fourth.
