Desired to quit her hole and native plain.
They willingly to foreign countries roam,
Who walk but lame in their affaire at home.
Two ducks, to whom our lady told
Her undertaking wise and bold,
Promised to lead her to some blessed abode :
" Do you perceive," they said, " that spacious road ?
We'll raise and wing thee to Columbus' shore ;
Many republics you'll explore,
Many a kingdom, people, great and small,
You'll mark their customs, and you'll learn them all.
Thus did Ulysses." Little dreamt we here,
To see Ulysses for such folks appear.
The tortoise jumped at this proposal fair ;
And straight the birds an instrument prepare,
To bear our lady pilgrim through the air.
Across her mouth a stick they passed ;
" Bite hard," they cried, " and hold it fast.
" Each holding tight his end, they leave the ground :
The rising tortoise wonder spread around,
To see the animal so slow before,
Between two hobbies thus with house to soar.
" Come, come, and see a miracle ! " they cry ;
" The queen of tortoises pass through the sky ! "
" The queen ! ay, sure I am ; no laughing, pray.
" Better had she moved silent on her way:
For letting go the stick, and there no seat,
She fell, and burst at her spectators' feet ;
Her indiscretion caused her death that day.
Imprudence, prate, with empty pride, in fine,
And idle curiosity to stray,
As nearest kindred ever join,
The offspring all of one unbroken line.
They willingly to foreign countries roam,
Who walk but lame in their affaire at home.
