FAB. LXX.

A _Camel_ at First Sight.

Upon the First Sight of a _Camel_, All people ran away from’t, in

Amazement at so Monstrous a Bulk. Upon the Second Sight, finding that it

did them No Hurt, they took Heart upon’t, went up to’t, and View’d it.

But when they came, upon Further Experience, to take notice, how Stupid

a Beast it was, they Ty’d it up, Bridled it, Loaded it with Packs and

Burdens; Set Boys upon the Back on’t, and Treated it with the Last Degree

of Contempt.
