An _Ape_ and a _Fox_.
An _Ape_ that found Many Inconveniences by going _Bare-Arse_, went to a
_Fox_ that had a Well-spread, Bushy _Tayle_, and begg’d of him only a
little piece on’t to Cover his Nakedness: For (says he) you have enough
for Both, and what needs more then you have Occasion for? Well, _John_
(says the _Fox_) be it More, or be it Less, you get not one Single Hair
on’t; for I would have ye know, Sirrah, that the _Tayle_ of a _Fox_ was
never made for the Buttocks of an _Ape_.
The MORAL.
_Providence has Assign’d Every Creature its Station, Lot, Make and
Figure; and ’tis not for Us to stand Correcting the Works of an
Incomprehensible Wisdom, and an Almighty Power._
