A _Sheep_ and a _Crow_.
There was a _Crow_ sat Chattering upon the Back of a _Sheep_; Well!
Sirrah says the _Sheep_, You durst not ha’ done This to a _Dog_. Why I
know that, says the _Crow_, as well as You can tell me, for I have the
Wit to Consider Whom I have to do withall. I can be as Quiet as any body
with Those that are Quarrelsome, and I can be as Troublesome as Another
too, when I Meet with Those that will Take it.
The MORAL.
_’Tis the Nature and Practice of Drolls and Buffons, to be Insolent
toward Those that will bear it, and as Slavish to Others that are more
then their Match._
