FAB. XCIV.

An _Astrologer_ and a _Traveller_.

A Certain _Starr-Gazer_ had the Fortune, in the very Height of his

Celestial Observations, to stumble into a Ditch: A sober Fellow passing

by gave him a piece of Wholesome Counsel. Friend, says he, Make a Right

Use of Your Present Misfortune; and pray, for the Future, let the Starrs

go on quietly in their Courses, and do you look Better to the Ditches.

The MORAL of the Three FABLES above.

_There needs no more then Impudence and Ignorance, on the One Side,

and a Superstitious Credulity on the Other, to the Setting up of a

Fortune-Teller._
