The facts were proved beyond dispute ; Pug must refund his hoards of fruit ; And, though then minister in chief, 105 Was branded as a public thief. Disgraced, despised, confined to chains, He nothing but his pride retains.
A goose pass'd by ; he knew the face, Seen ev'ry levee while in place. No What, no respect ! no rev'rence shown ! How saucy are these creatures grown ! Not two days since (says he) you bow 'd The lowest of my fawning crowd.
Proud fool (replies the goose), 'tis true, 115 Thy c...orn a flutt'ring levee drew ! For that I join'd the hungry train, And sold thee flatt'ry for thy grain ; THE FABLES 151 But then, as now, conceited ape, We saw thee in thy proper shape. I2 FABLE IV THE ANT IN OFFICE To a Friend You tell me, that you apprehend My verse may touchy folks offend. In prudence, too, you think my rhymes Should never squint at courtiers' crimes For though nor this nor that is meant, Can we another's thoughts prevent ?
You ask me if I ever knew Court chaplains thus the lawn pursue.
