THE BARD AND THE CRICKET. BY ROBERT BROWNING.

What a pretty tale you told me

Ones upon a time -Said you found it somewhere (scold me !)

Was it press or was it rhyme, Greek or Latin? Greek, you said, While your shoulder propped my head.

Anyhow there's no forgotting

There stood ho, while deep attention

All-was lost, then! Not a cricket

(What" ciçada"? Pool!)

Some mad thing that left its thicket For mere love of music-few With its little heart on fire, Lighted on the crippled lyre.

So that when (Ah, joy !) our singer

For his truant string Feels with disconcerted finger.

What does orisket else but fling Fiery heart forth, sound the note Wanted by the throbbing throat ?

Ay and, over to the ending, Cricket obirps at need, Executes the hand's intending, Promptly, perfectly,-indoed Baves the singer from defeat With her chirrup low and sweet.

No! This other, on returning Homeward, prize in hand, Satisfied his bosom's yearning:

So he made himself a statue,
