    Now would I gie a t;rk;/rkrifle to know historically and authentically, who was the greatest fool that eer lied. I would certainly gie hiin a buer. Marry, of the present breed, I think uld without ch diffia you the party.

    And the bewildered chis.

    Good ster Eedocles, you are wele. It is long since you went a sander gathering downa. Worse than sahire-pig by so odds. `Tis a rcy your worship did not singe your stachios.

    Ha! brotus! and what sads in faith did you light upon at the bottoof the Mediterranean? You were founder, I take it, of the disied sect of the turists.

    Gebir,  old free-son, and prince of psterers at Babel, bring in your trowel, st A Grand! You hae cito a seat at  right hand, as patron of the staerers. You left your work, if I reer Herodoturrectly, at eight hundred llion toises, or thereabout, aboe the leel of the sea. Bless us, what a long bell you st hae pulled, to call your top workn to their nun on the low grounds of Sennaar. Or did you send up yarlid onions by a rocket?

    heless, noble R --, e in, and take your seat here, between Ardo and Quisada: for in truurtesy, in graity, in fantastic sling to thyself, iurteous sling upon others, in the goodly ornature of well-apparelled speech, and the endation of wise sentehou art nothing inferior to those aplished Dons of Spain. The spirit of chialry forsake  for eer, when I fet thy singing the song of Macheath, which decres that he ght be happy with either, situated between those tinsters -- when I fet the initable forl loe which thou didst ke, turning now to the one, and now to the other, with that Malolian sle -- as if tes, not Gay, had written it for his hero; and as if thousands of periods st reole, before the nor ourtesuld hae gien his inidious prefereween a pair of so goodly-propertied aorious-equal daels. . . . . .

    To desd frothese aitudes, and not to protract our Fools Ba beyond its appropriate day, -- for I fear the sed of April is not ny hours distant -- in sober erity I will fess a Truth to thee, reader. I loe a Fool -- as naturally, as if I were of kith and kin to hi When a child, with child-like apprehensions, that died not below the surface of the tter, I read those Parables -- not guessing at their inoled wisdo-- I had re yearnings towards that sile architect, that bui his house upon the sand, thaertained for his re cautious neighbour; I grudged at the hard sure pronounced upon the quiet soul that kept his talent; and -- prizing their silicity beyond the re proident, and, to  apprehension, sowhat unfenine wariness of their petitors -- I fe a kindliness, that alst auo a tendre, for those fie thoughtless irgins. -- I hae neer de an acquaintance sihat sted; or a friendship, that answered; with any that had not so tincture of the absurd in their characters. I ee an ho obliquity of uanding. The re ughable blunders a n shall it in your pany, the re tests he gieth you, that he will not betray or oerreach you. I loe the sa;dfn99lib?;/dfy, which a palpable halluation warrants; the security, which a word out of season ratifies. And take  word for this, reader, and say a fool told it you, if you please, that he who hath not a draof folly in his ture, hath pounds of ch worse tter in his position. It is obsered, that quot;the foolisher the fowl or fish, -- wocks, -- dotterels, -ds-heads, c. the fihe flesh thereof,quot; and what are only the worlds receied fools, but such whereof the world is not worthy? and what hae been so of the ki patterns of our species, but so ny darlings of absurdity, nions of the goddess, and her white boys? -- Reader, if you wrest  words beyond their fair stru, it is you, and not I, that are the April Fool.
