The Mountain labor'd, groaning loud, On which a num'rous gaping crowd Of noodles came to see the sight, When, lo ! a mouse was brought to light! This tale 's for men of swagg'ring cast, Whose threats, voluminous and vast, With all their verse and all their prose, Can make but little on 't, God knows.
