The _Mice_ and the _Oak_.
The _Mice_ found it so Troublesome to be still Climbing the _Oak_ for
Every Bit they put in their Bellies, that they were once about to set
their Teeth to’t, and bring the Acorns down to them; But some Wiser then
some; and a Grave Experienc’d _Mouse_, bad them have a care what they
did; for if we Destroy our Nurse at present, Who shall Feed us hereafter?
The MORAL.
_Resolution without Foresight is but a Temerarious Folly: And
the Consequences of Things are the First Point to be taken into
Consideration._
