Explore "Jackal and Child" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the great Province of Bengal, / The scavenger is the Jackal, / For it doth love each night to feast, / On the carrion of some beast.
The stench of which pollutes the air, / But to this beast 'tis sweet and fair, / Carcass to it is source of wealth, / Jackals promote the public health.
