EPIGRAM XIX.
[What d'ye think of this Pig, said a man to his friend]
QUOD PETIS, HIC EST.
What d'ye think of this Pig, said a man to his friend,
Whose Learning has made such a fuss?
All the world goes to see him, all who see him commend:
Is the wonder in him, or in us?
Whose Learning has made such a fuss?
All the world goes to see him, all who see him commend:
Is the wonder in him, or in us?
All the world, quoth his friend, is for once in the right;
'Tis instinct that sanctions the whim;
We know our own sense has long taken it's flight;
And of course, run to seek it in Him!
'Tis instinct that sanctions the whim;
We know our own sense has long taken it's flight;
