_Two Enemies_ at _Sea_.
There were _Two Enemies at Sea_ in the same Vessel, the One at the Ships
Head, the Other at the Stern. It Blew a Dreadful Storm, and when the
Vessel was just ready to be swallow’d up, One of ’em Ask’d the Master,
which part of the Ship would be First under Water; so he told him the
T’other End would Sink first. Why then, says he, I shall have the Comfort
of seeing my Enemy go before me.
The MORAL of the Two FABLES above.
_’Tis a Wretched Satisfaction, that a Revengeful Man takes, even in the
Losing of his own Life, provided that his Enemy may go for Company._
