A _Gall’d Ass_ and a _Raven_.
As an _Ass_ with a _Gall’d Back_ was Feeding in a Meadow, a _Raven_
Pitch’d upon him, and there Sate, Jobbing of the Sore. The _Ass_ fell
a Frisking and Braying upon’t; which set a Groom, that saw it at a
Distance, a Laughing at it. Well! (says a _Wolfe_ that was Passing by)
to see the Injustice of the World now! A Poor _Wolfe_ in that _Raven’s_
Place, would have been Persecuted, and Hunted to Death presently; and
’tis made only a Laughing Matter, for a _Raven_ to do the Same Thing that
would have Cost a _Wolfe_ his Life.
The MORAL.
