Perch ´ d on a lofty oak, Sir Raven held a lunch of cheese;Sir fox, who smelt it in the breeze,Thus to the holder spoke:-- ´ Ha! how do you do, Sir Raven? Well, your coat, sir, is brave on! So black and glossy, on my word, sir, Well fit to be the Phoenix of these days. ´ Sir Raven, overset whit praise, Must show how musical his croak.

Down fell the luncheon from the oak; Which snatching up, Sir Fox thus spoke:-- ´The flatterer, my good sir, Aye liveth on his listener; Which lesson, if you please, Is doubtless worth the cheese.´ A bit too late, Sir Raven swore The rogue should never cheat him more.
