AN INDIAN ASS
BY
HAROLD ACTON
“Ha ha! ha ha! this world doth pass
Most merrily, I’ll be sworn;
For many an honest Indian ass
Goes for an Unicorn.
Most merrily, I’ll be sworn;
For many an honest Indian ass
Goes for an Unicorn.
Ty hye! ty hye! O sweet delight!
He tickles this age that can
Call Tullia’s ape a marmosyte
And Leda’s goose a swan.”
