Come bring them all at once to town,
We'll make a courtier of a clown.
I think that, for your children's sake,
'Tis proper my advice to take."
"Well," said his host, "I can but try,
And so poor quiet hole good bye!"
Then off they jogg'd for many a mile,
Talking of splendid things the while;
At last, in town, they all arrived—
Found where the city mouse had lived—
