The Viper

________________________________________________
Title:     The Viper
Author: Hilaire Belloc [More Titles by Belloc]

Yet another great truth I record in my verse,
That some Vipers are venomous, some the reverse;
A fact you may prove if you try,
By procuring two Vipers, and letting them bite;
With the _first_ you are only the worse for a fright,
But after the _second_ you die.

[The end]
Hilaire Belloc's poem: Viper
