A _Bat_ and a _Weazle_.
A _Weazle_ had seiz’d upon a _Bat_, and the _Bat_ begg’d for Life. No,
No, says the _Weazle_, I give No Quarter to Birds. Ay (says the _Bat_)
but I’m a Mouse you see; look on my Body else: and so she got off for
That Bout. The _same Bat_ had the Fortune to be Taken a While after by
_Another Weazle_; and there the Poor _Bat_ was forc’d to beg for Mercy
once again. No, says the _Weazle_, No Mercy to a Mouse. Well (says
T’other,) but you may see by my Wings that I’m a Bird; and so the _Bat_
scap’d in Both Capacities, by Playing the _Trimmer_.
