PUNCH, OP THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[March 16, 1889.
THE OSPREY AND THE EAGLES.
“ The abdication of King Milan of Servia .... has at length fallen like a thunderbolt on the State-craft of Europe.”—Times.
Fallen at last, but not quite like a thunderbolt!
Osprey is hardly a Jovian bird ;
Rather a fowl that will, after big blunder, bolt;
Timid rapacity’s slightly absurd.
True birds of prey should be boldly belligerent,
Dauntless in danger, and strong on the wing;
Crises on cocktails will act as refrigerant, _
Courage he needs who of air would be king.
