Fury said to a mouse,
That he met in the house,
“Let us both go to law:
I will prosecute you.—
Come, I’ll take no denial;
We must have the trial;
For really this morning
I’ve nothing to do.”
Said the mouse to the cur,
“Such a trial, dear sir,
With no jury or judge,
would be wasting our breath.”
“I’ll be judge, I’ll be jury,”
Said cunning old Fury:
“I’ll try the whole cause,
and condemn you to death”.
