Of eight regard him as a German fraud,
Who cannot even play “My Mary Ann.”
And thus it is they think he is a sell,
And thus it is things work among mankind.
THE STORY OF A LIE
Who asks an ape to throw a coco-nut
Should take it not amiss if it be thrown
On his own head, as echo answers song.
There was a man named Jesse, who was called
The greatest liar in Connecticut.
