A FABLE.

By some more honest planet;

An orb as brilliant as the sun,

As stable as the granite.

Accordingly I throw my vote

For Madam Moon's resigning;

Advertisement

If she declines to acquiesce,

And still persists in shining,

Why, then, I vote to send her off,

Regardless of her feelings;

For we have been perplexed enough

By her eccentric dealings."

And so the worthies cast their votes,

Each on himself relying; -

Just six resolved to let her shine,

And seven to send her flying.
