One
hot summer's day (NuA)
a Fox
was
strolling {through an
orchard}[till
he
came
{to
a bunch} {of Grapes} just ripening
{on a
vine} [which
had
been trained {over a lofty branch.}]]
/ [" Just the
thing to quench
my thirst
," ] quoth
he. / Drawing
back a few
paces (NuA),
he
took
a
run
and a
jump,
and
just
missed
the
bunch.
/
Turning round
again {with a One, Two, Three,} he
jumped
up,
but
{with no greater success.}
/ Again
and again he tried
{after
the
tempting morsel,} but{at
last} had to give it
up,
and
walked
away {with his nose} {in the air}, saying:
["I
am sure [they
are
sour
."
]]/
It
is
easy
to despise
(Inf - Delayed SubjectNote
#1)
[what
you
cannot get.]/
