Her children, by example taught, Less of themselves than others thought ; And though they could not boast, 'tis true, The gift of speech, as men can do, They had a language of their own, To make their wants and wishes known. Sister helped sister, brother brother, And none refused to aid another. Young Chanticleer advanced to meet His visitors with friendly greet, And " Cluck, cluck, cluck!" and " Cock-a-doo!" Passed on all sides for " How are you?" Large was the party ; all his cousins On this ...occasion came by dozens ; But Partlet had the highest seat, Her age and merit were so great : HO FABLES. For though some richer guests were there, She was the best beyond compare. As soon as each had taken his place, Sharpened his beak, and crow'd a grace ; Chanticleer scraped ; and soon he cries, et See herej my friends, a prize ! a prize ! So large a grain I ne'er did see ! It is not corn ; what can it be ? My beak can pierce e'en wood, or bone ; But this resists it, like a stone ; And though I Ve lived two years or more, I never saw its like before.
