A _Flea_ and a _Man_.
A Fellow finding somewhat Prick him, Popt his finger upon the Place,
and it prov’d to be a _Flea_. What art thou, says he, for an Animal, to
Suck thy Livelyhood out of my Carcass? Why ’tis the Livelyhood, (says
the _Flea_) that Nature has Allotted me, and My Stinging is not Mortal
neither. Well, says the Man, but ’tis Troublesome however; and now I Have
ye, I’ll secure ye for ever Hurting me again, either Little or Much.
The MORAL.
Live and Let Live, _is the Rule of Common Justice, but if People will be
Troublesome on the One hand, the Obligation is Discharg’d on the Other_.
