FAB. LVI.

A _Boar_ and a _Horse_.

A _Boar_ happen’d to be Wallowing in the Water where a _Horse_ was going

to Drink, and there grew a Quarrel upon’t. The _Horse_ went presently to

a _Man_, to Assist him in his Revenge. They agreed upon the Conditions,

and the _Man_ immediately Arm’d himself, and mounted the _Horse_, who

carry’d him to the _Boar_, and had the satisfaction of seeing his

Enemy Kill’d before his Face. The _Horse_ Thank’d the Cavalier for his

Kindness, but as he was just about to take leave, the _Man_ say’d he

should have further Occasion for him, and so Order’d him to be Ty’d up in

the Stable. The Horse came by This Time, to Understand, that his Liberty

was gone, and No Help for’t, and that he had paid Dear for his Revenge.
