_Frogs_ were Pick’d up, and Destroy’d, by Birds and Fishes: Well (says
One of ’em) ’tis better to Live Dull, and Heavy, then to Dye Light and
Nimble.

_Every Part and Creature of the Universe has its proper Place, Station,
and Faculties Assign’d, and to Wish it Otherwise were to find Fault with
Providence._
