	By all the rules of Equity below
	A Sentence was pronounced against the crow.
	That all the shouts were heard of all the wise
	And Mr. Goose applauded to the Skies.
	As one whose silken plumes supplied the pen
	Best suited to the purposes of men.
	A pen most friendly to the ease of those
	Who teach the streem to flow of lawless prose
	And those who blasted by Apollo’s curse
	Adore the mad divinity of verse.
