 | Truth in Fiction |  |
The rich plum'd Peacock, kept by Juno's side,
(With those Advantages not satisfy'd)
Complain'd, That Philomel's melodious Voice
Charm'd all the Groves, and made the Swains rejoyce;
All list'ned, her delightful Songs to hear,
While his harsh Note offended ev'ry Ear.

All list'ned, her delightful Songs to hear,
While his harsh Note offended ev'ry Ear.
Juno reply'd, You may with this dispense,
Since Each has his peculiar Excellence:
Her Tunes to more advantage are express'd,
But you, my Bird, in nobler Plumes are dress'd.
