of Both his Ears for a Warning never to come into My Corn again. Theſe Words of the Silly Bumpkin fet the whole Company a Laughing.
The MORAL.
REFLEXION.
THE Life and Converſation of ſome Men is ſo Brutal, as if they had only the Shape, without the Faculties of Reaſonable Creatures. What's He better then the Boar in This Fable now, that Abandons himſelf wholly to his Appetites, and Pleaſures; and after ſo many Repeated Poxes, and Qualms, One upon the Neck of Another, Drinks and Whores on ſtill, in Deſpite of all Puniſhments, and Warnings. The Boar's Intemperance, and the Note upon him afterwards, on the Cutting of him up, that he had no Brains in's Head, may be Moraliz’d into the Figure of a Senſual Man, that has neither Grace, nor Knowledge, but runs headlong on to his Ruine, without either Conſcicnce, or Conſideration.
Fab. CCXLV.
A Bull and a Mouse.
A Mouſe Pinch'd a Bull by the Foot, and then ſlunk into her Hole. The Bull Tears up the Ground upon't, and Toſſes his Head in the Air, looking about, in a Rage, for his Enemy, but ſees None. As he was in the Height of his Fury, the Mouſe puts out her Head, and Laughs at him. Your Pride (ſays ſhe) may be brought down I ſee, for all Your Bluſtering, and your Horns; for here’s a Poor Mouſe has got the Better of ye, and You do not know how to Help your ſelf.
The MORAL.
