A _Lyon_ and a _Frog_.
A _Lyon_ that was Ranging about for his Prey, made a Stop all on a Sudden
at a Hideous Yelling Noise he heard, which not a little Startled him.
The Surprize put him at first into a Shaking Fit; but as he was looking
about, and Preparing for the Encounter of some Terrible Monster, what
should he see but a Pitiful _Frog_ come Crawling out from the Side of
a Pond. And is This All? (says the _Lyon_) and so betwixt Shame and
Indignation, he put forth his Paw, and Pash’d out the Guts on’t.
The MORAL.
_There’s no Resisting of_ First Motions; _but upon Second Thoughts we
come immediately to our selves again_.
