_Bustards_ and _Cranes_.
Some Sports-men that were abroad upon Game, spy’d a Company of _Bustards_
and _Cranes_ a Feeding together, and so made in upon ’em as fast as
their Horses could carry them. The _Cranes_ that were Light, took Wing
immediately, and sav’d themselves, but the _Bustards_ were Taken; for
they were Fat, and Heavy, and could not Shift so well as the Other.
The MORAL.
_Light of Body and Light of Purse, comes much to a Case in Troublesome
Times; Only the One saves himself by his Activity, and the Other scapes
because he is not worth the Taking._
