Come, I'l l take no denial: We must have the trial ;For really this morning I've nothingto do.'Said the mouse to the cur, 'Such atrial, dear sir, With no jury or judge, wouldbe wasting our breath.''I'll be judge, I'll be jury,'said cunning old Fury;'I'll try the whole cause,and condemn you todeath.'" |
