Excerpt from The Peacock at Home: A Sequel to the Butterfly's Ball Shall we, like domestic, inelegant Fowls, As unpolish'd as Geese, and as stupid as Owls, Sit tamely at home, hum-drum with our Spouses, While Crickets and Butterflies open their houses 2 Shall such mean little Insects pretend to the fashion? Cousin Turkey-cock, well may you be in a passion If I suffer such insolent airs to prevail, May Juno pluck out all the eyes in my tail! So a Fete I will give, and my taste I 'll display.
