But few, very few would refuse such a thing, As a grand entertainment announced by their King. All devoted the time now to due preparation, To decide on their character, dress, decoration. ^Om . --. '"'' /' 11: : -At length Phoebus dawn'd on the long wish'd-for day Which their beauty, their talents, and wit should display. What licking, and cleaning, what endless adorning, Not a creature stirred out the whole course of the morning ; And some of tneir dresses were b. Mly complete, At the time th...ey were punctually order'd to meet, The Lioness, willing to sanction the rest, With a helmet, and spear, as Britannia was drest ; But the Lion, as lord of the banquet, remain 'd In the same noble figure that Nature ordain'd ; And crouching beside her, with dignified mien, Contributed much to the state of his Queen. The Jackal JLord Chamberlain v/icited upon her, Aad two little La/i-dogs as Pages of Honour : While twelre Orctng-Outangs were stationed without, To usher the company in, and about. At the hour which his King had thought proper to name, The Horsey as the Hounyhm of Gulliver came ; Unaccustomed to "utter the thing that is not, "* He reach'd, at the moment he promis'd, the spot.
