A _Country-man_ and a _Boar_.
A _Country-man_ took a _Boar_ in his Corn once, and Cut off One of his
Ears. He took him a Second Time, and cut off T’other. He took him a Third
Time, and made a Present of him to his Landlord. Upon the Opening of his
Head, they found he had no Brains, and Every Body fell a Wond’ring, and
Discoursing upon it. Sir, says the _Clown_, If This _Boar_ had had any
Brains, he would have taken the Loss of Both his Ears for a Warning,
never to come into My Corn again. These Words of the Silly _Bumpkin_ set
the whole Company a Laughing.
The MORAL.
_An Incorrigible Fool that will take no Warning, there’s no Hope of him._
