The Peacock, with vanity fully inflated,

Erected his plumes, and the triumph related;

Then quiv’ring his wings, and expanding his breast,

The listening Parrot in these words address’d:—

“My friend, I acknowledge the Poem divine,

And that genius and wit breathe thro’ every line;

But it is not enough that to Fame we devote it,

You, the Herald of Ton, must inform me who wrote it.”
