A Fable: The Fox and the Vizard
From Miscellaneous Works (Waller, 1907)
Social Commentaries
THE Fox an actor's vizard found,
And peer'd, and felt, and turn'd it round :
Then threw it in contempt away,
And thus old Phaedrus heard him say :
What noble part can'st thou sustain.
Thou specious head without a brain?
