22 THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF |
||
|
"Mary, I hear the pig,
Unaisy in his mind." " But, mother, you know, they say
The pigs can see the wind."
" That's true enough in the day. But I think you may remark
That pigs, no more nor we,
Can see anything in the dark." {The dog barks.}
" The dog is barking now,
The fiddle can't play the tune."
" But, mother, the dogs will bark Whenever they see the moon."
" But how could he see the moon. When, you know, the dog is blind ?
Blind dogs won't bark at the moon, Nor fiddles be played by the wind.
"I'm not such a fool as you think, I know very well it is Pat:—
Shut your mouth, you whistlin' thief, And go along home out o' that!
" And you be off to your bed, Don't play upon me your jeers;
For though I have lost my eyes, I haven't lost my ears ! " |
