A _Daw_ and _Pigeons_.
A _Daw_ took Particular Notice of the _Pigeons_ in such a Certain
_Dove-House_, that they were very Well Fed, and Provided for: So he Went
and Painted himself of a _Dove-Colour_, and took his Commons with the
_Pigeons_. So long as he kept his Own Counsel, he Pass’d for a Bird of
the Same Feather; but it was his Hap once at Unawares, to Cry [KAW,] upon
which Discovery, they Beat him out of the House, and when he came to his
Old Companions again, They’d have None of him neither; so that he Lost
himself Both Ways by This Disguise.
The MORAL.
_He that Trims betwixt Two Interests, loses himself with Both, when he
comes to be Detected, for being True to Neither._
