The Mouse's Tale

"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 a 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 the judge, I'll be the jury,' Said cunning old Fury: 'I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.'"
