A _Frog_ and an _Oxe_.
As a Huge Over-grown _Oxe_ was Grazing in a Meadow, an Old Envious _Frog_
that stood Gaping at him hard by, call’d out to her Little Ones, to take
Notice of the Bulk of That Monstrous Beast; and see, says she, if I don’t
make my self now the Bigger of the Two. So she Strain’d Once, and Twice,
and went still swelling on and on, till in the Conclusion she Forc’d her
self, and Burst.
The MORAL.
_Betwixt Pride, Envy, and Ambition, men fancy Themselves to be Bigger
then they are, and Other People to be Less: And This Tumour Swells it
self at last ’till it makes All Fly_.
