FAB. CCLXXXII.

A _Rich Man_ and a _Foolish Servant_.

A _Rich Man_ had a Certain Block-headed Fellow to his _Servant_, and the

Master would be saying to him at Every Turn, Well! Thou art the very

Prince of Fools! I would I were, says the Man, in a Sawcy Huff once, for

I should be the Greatest Emperor upon the Face of the Earth then, and You

Your self should be One of My Subjects.

The MORAL.

_The Only Universal Monarch is the King of Fools; for the Whole Race of

Mankind are his Subjects._
