An _Eele_ and a _Snake_.
You and I are so Alike, says the _Eele_ to the _Snake_, that Methinks we
should be somewhat a-Kin; and yet They that Persecute Me are afraid of
You. What should be the Reason of this? Oh (says the _Snake_) because no
body does Me an Injury but I make him smart for’t.
The MORAL.
