A _Flea_ and _Hercules_.
There was a Fellow, that upon a _Flea-Biting_ call’d out to _Hercules_
for Help. The _Flea_ gets away, and the Man Expostulates upon the Matter.
Well! _Hercules_; (says he) You that would not take My Part against a
Sorry _Flea_, will never stand by me in a Time of Need, against a more
Powerful Enemy.
The MORAL.
_We Neglect God in Greater Matters, and Petition him for Trifles, nay and
Take Pet at last if we cannot have our Askings._
