The Two Dogs and the Dead Ass TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text <br> Two lean and hungry mastiffs once espied<br> A dead ass floating on a water wide.<br> The distance growing more and more,<br> Because the wind the carcass bore,--<br> "My friend," said one, "your eyes are best;<br> Pray let them on the water rest:<br> What thing is that I seem to see?<br> An ox, or horse? what can it be?"<br> "Hey!" cried his mate; "what matter which,<br> Provided we could get a flitch?<br> It doubtless is our lawful prey:<br> The puzzle is to find some way<br> To get the prize; for wide the space<br> To swim, with wind against your face.
