A _Swallow_ and a _Spider_.
A _Spider_ that Observ’d a _Swallow_ Catching of _Flies_, fell
Immediately to Work upon a Net to Catch _Swallows_, for she lookt
upon’t as an Encroachment upon her Right: But the _Birds_, without any
Difficulty, brake through the Work, and flew away with the very Net it
self. Well, says the _Spider_, _Bird Catching_ is none of My Talent I
perceive; and so she return’d to her Old Trade of Catching Flies again.
The MORAL.
_A Wise Man will not Undertake any thing without Means Answerable to the
End._
