Maxioms by John Gay
To frame the little animal, provide
All the gay hues that wait on female pride:
Let Nature read more
To frame the little animal, provide
All the gay hues that wait on female pride:
Let Nature guide thee; sometimes golden wire
The shining belles of the fly require;
The peacock's plumes thy tackle must not fail,
Nor the dear purchase of the sable's tail.
In every age and clime we see,
Two of a trade can ne'er agree.
In every age and clime we see,
Two of a trade can ne'er agree.
