A _Boy_ and _Fortune_.
There was a _Boy_ fast asleep upon the very Brink of a River. _Fortune_
came to him, and wak’d him. _Child_, says she, prithee get up, and go thy
ways, thou’t Tumble in and be Drown’d else, and then the Fault will be
laid upon Me.
The MORAL of the Four FABLES Above.
_We are apt to Ascribe our Successes in This World, and to Impute our
Misfortunes, to Wrong Causes. We Assume the One to our Selves, and Charge
the Other upon Providence._
