A _Dog_ and a _Butcher_.
As a _Butcher_ was Busy about his Meat, a _Dog_ runs away with a Sheeps
Heart. The _Butcher_ saw him upon the Gallop with a piece of flesh in’s
Mouth, and call’d out after him, Heark ye Friend (says he) you may e’en
make the Best of your Purchase, so long as Y’ave made me the Wiser for’t.
The MORAL.
_It may serve as a Comfort to us in All Our Calamities and Afflictions,
that He that Loses any thing and gets Wisdom by’t, is a Gainer by the
Loss._
