Is it right, Mr. Peacock, to strut about so?

Your plumage is fine ’tis allowed;

And had you but painted that beautiful tail, You would then, with some reason, feel proud.

Many bright little flowers, as pretty as you,

Are found in some shady retreat.

Go learn of the rose-buds and violets, too,

Their modesty renders them sweet.

God gave you the plumage we so much admire;

God painted the butterfly’s wing;

God deck’d the green fields with flowers so gay,

And taught the dear birds how to sing.

Many things in this beautiful world He has made

To look quite as pretty as you;

So please, Mr. Peacock, don’t feel quite so proud,

As your gay, brilliant plumage we view!
