EPIGRAM.
ON SOME MICE.
[Hence—hence—away! I'm much mistaken]
Hence—hence—away! I'm much mistakenIf here you'll smell or cheese, or bacon;
Mark my spare form, my pallid looks,
And pry about, I've nought but books;
If, my good friends, you wish to dine,
You'll seek some richer house than mine,
For sure you're mice of more discerning
Than here to live, like me, on learning.
