THE MAD BULL.
The Borodale Bull is a comical fellow,
He lives among hills where the echoes resound;
Whenever he bellows the rocks seem to bellow;—
They say he goes mad with the mimicking sound.
He lives among hills where the echoes resound;
Whenever he bellows the rocks seem to bellow;—
They say he goes mad with the mimicking sound.
Be wiser, my boy, than the Borodale bully,
Regard not the mocks of a vain empty fool;
By silence and calmness you baffle him fully,
You ne'er will run mad if you keep yourself cool.
