The mountain and the squirrel

Had a quarrel:

And the former called the latter 'Little Prig:

Bun replied,

'You are doubtless very big;

But all sorts of things and weather

Must be taken in together,

To make up a year

And a sphere.

And I think it no disgrace

To occupy my place.

If I'm not so large as you.

You are not so small as I,

And not half so spry.

I'll not deny you make

A very pretty squirrel track;

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put:

It I cannot carry forests on my back,

Neither can you crack a nut!
