Excerpt from The Humorous Speaker: Being a Choice Collection of Amusing Pieces, Both in Prose and Verse, Original and Selected; Consisting of Dialogues, Soliloquies, Parodies, &C
But humor 's good, And fun is good, If we but rightly use it would. It trains the laughing power, at least, Which measures, they say, 'twixt man and beast; For, though sometimes With brutes he chimes, Nay, Often shoots Below the brutes, For example, in much Of the liquor he quafi's, Yet is he the only creature that laughs. Hyenas, true, And monkeys too, Are a sort Of ghastly, grinning crew; But the genuine laugh belongs to man, And he ought to enjoy it as best he can. There 1s a time to laugh, the wise man said.
