AS TO THE PEACOCK.
We call the peacock vain. Because he struts about, And with a pride too plain Spreads his tail-feathers out. And yet his vanity Perhaps we should condone, Since past all question he Sports feathers all his own. Unlike those gay-hued dames Who trot about in herds, And decorate their frames s With loot of rifled birds. / Life— —J.K.B.
