A _Dog_ in a _Manger_.
A Churlish Envious _Cur_ was gotten into a _Manger_, and there lay
Growling and Snarling to keep the Horses from their Provender. The _Dog_
Eat None himself, and yet rather Ventur’d the Starving his Own Carcase
then he would suffer any thing else to be the Better for’t.
The MORAL.
_Envy pretends to No Other Happiness then what it derives from the Misery
of Other People, and will rather Eat Nothing it self then not Starve
Those that Would._
