A Motto For Mr. Jason Hasard

________________________________________________
Title:     A Motto For Mr. Jason Hasard
Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]

WOOLLEN-DRAPER IN DUBLIN, WHOSE SIGN WAS THE GOLDEN FLEECE

Jason, the valiant prince of Greece,
From Colchis brought the Golden Fleece;
We comb the wool, refine the stuff,
For modern Jasons, that's enough.
Oh! could we tame yon watchful dragon,[1]
Old Jason would have less to brag on.


[Footnote 1: England.--_H_.]
