[THE SUN AND THE WIND.]

Phebus and Boreas from on high

Upon the road a traveller spy,

Wearing a cloak for fear of rain.

Says Boreas, "his precaution's vain

'Gainst me, I'll show you for a joke

How soon I'll make him quit his cloak."

"Come on," says Phebus, "let us see

Who best succeeds, or you or me."
