AND A LONG TALE.

so that her idea of the tale was something like this:—— "Fury said to

a mouse, That
  he met
  in the
  house,

  'Let us
  both go
  to law:
  I will
  prosecute

 you.
  Come, I'll
  take no
  denial;
  We must

  have a
  trial:
  For
  really
  this

  morning
  I've
  nothing
  to do.'

  Said the
  mouse to
  the cur,
  'Such a
  trial,
  dear sir,
  With no

  jury or
  judge,
  would be
  wasting
  our breath.'

  'I'll be
  judge.
  I'll be
  Jury,'
  Said
  cunning

  old Fury;
  'I'll try
  the whole
  cause,

  and
  condemn
  you
  to
  death.''
