A party of beasts assembled for pleasure, -- / For beasts, like mankind, thus diversify leisure, -- / With a thousand discussions of this and of that, / Were whiling the time in a sociable chat.
Of the different qualities, now they conversed, / That each animal marked; some among them rehearsed / The deserts of the Ant, of the Hound so sagacious; / While some praised the Bee, some the Parrot loquacious.
