Classic Poem

Fury said to
a mouse, That
he met in the
house, " Let
us both go
to law: I
will prose-
cute you . —
Come, I'll
take no de-
nial: We
must have
the trial;
For really
this morn-
ing I've
nothing
to do."
Said the
mouse to
the cur,
" Such a
trial, dear
sir, With
no jury
or judge,
would
be wast-
ing our
breath."
" I'll be
judge,
I'll be
jury,"
said
cun-
ning
old
Fury:
" I'll
try
the
whole
cause,
and
con-
demn
you to
death."
