There is an ape in Paris, To which was given a wife: Like many a one that marries, This ape, in brutal strife, Soon beat her out of life. Their infant cries,—perhaps not fed,— But cries, I ween, in vain; The father laughs: his wife is dead, And he has other loves again, Which he will also beat, I think,— Return’d from tavern drown’d in drink. For aught that’s good, you need not look Among the imitative tribe; A monkey be it, or what makes a book— The worse, I deem—the aping scribe.
