Perch'd on a lofty oak, Sir Raven held a lunch of cheese; Sir Fox, who smelt it in the breeze, Thus to the holder spoke:-- Ha! how do you do, Sir Raven? Well, your coat, sir, is a brave one! So black and glossy, on my word, sir,With voice to match, you were a bird, sir,Well fit to be the Phœnix of these days. Sir Raven, overset with praise, Must show how musical his croak. Down fell the luncheon from the oak; Which snatching up, Sir Fox thus spoke:-- The flatterer, my good sir, Aye liveth on his listener; Which lesson, if you please, Is doubtless worth the cheese. A bit too late, Sir Raven sworeThe rogue should never cheat him more.
