Les actions des betes sont peut-etre iin des plus profonds abimes sn 

 quoi notre raison se puisse exercer; et je siiis siirpris que si peu de gens 

 s'en aperi;oivent. — Bayle. 



Their good is good entii'e, unmixed, unmarred ; 



They find a paradise in every field, 



On boughs forbidden wliere no cm'ses hang : 



Then- ill, no more than strikes the sense, unstretched 



By previous dread, or miu"mur in the rear ; 



When the worst comes, it comes unfeared ; one stroke 



Begins and ends their woe. — YouNO.
