This Fable is sufficiently Moraliz’d Elsewhere; but it gives us further
to Understand, that Experience is the Mistress of Knaves as well as of
Fools. Here was the Innocence of the _Ass_, and the _Craft_ of the _Fox_,
Both in One. He sav’d his Skin by the Modesty of the Division, and left
enough for himself too, over and above! For _Asses_ are No great _Venison
Eaters_.
