The Peacock and the Magpie


104. THE PEACOCK AND PIE.
The Birds round chuse a King, the Peacocks claime
By all confirm'd, they chuse him soveraign.
But the wise Pye reprocht his forward pride
And to the listening Sennat thus reply'd:

Elective monarchs shoud not be indu'd
With a gay form alone, but fortitude.
