PEACE.

  When lion and lamb have together lain down    Spectators cry out, all in chorus;  "The lamb doesn't shrink nor the lion frown—    A miracle's working before us!"  But 't is patent why Hot-head his wrath holds in,    And Faint-heart her terror and loathing;  For the one's but an ass in a lion's skin,    The other a wolf in sheep's clothing.
