A FABLE.
Personam Tragicam forte vulpes viderat,
O quanta species, inquit, cerebrum non habet!
Phædr.
O quanta species, inquit, cerebrum non habet!
Phædr.
The Fox an actor's vizard found,
And peer'd, and felt, and turn'd it round:
Then threw it in contempt away,
And thus old Phædrus heard him say:
What noble part can'st thou sustain,
Thou specious head without a brain?
