THE SEQUEL OF A FABLE.
(See "The German Fox and the British Lion," Punch, November 17, 1888.)
"When Fox with Lion hunts, one would be sorry
To say who gains—until they've shared the quarry!"
Such was the Moral
Of the first chapter of our modern Fable.
Is the co-partnership still strong and stable,
Or are there signs of quarrel
More than mere querulous quidnuncs invent
To break companionship and mar content?
