A Query Answered
Jests Home
WHY, pray, of late do Europe's kings
No jester to their courts admit?
They're grown such stately solemn things,
To bear a joke they think not fit.
But though each court a jester lacks,
To laugh at monarchs to their faces,
Yet all mankind, behind their backs,
Supply the honest jesters' places.
