Why this dislike to 'following the nose'
Which all the best authorities endorse?"
Insensate fools. Swims not the Cod in curves?
Does not the running Roebuck leap and bound
If in his flight the Capercailzie swerves,
Shall he be mocked by every Basset-hound
Who, having neither feathers, wings, nor nerves,
Has not the pluck to rise up from the ground?
Peace, peace, the Crab adopts a side-long walk,
For reasons still impossible to see.
