A _Goldfinch_ and a _Boy_.

A _Goldfinch_ gave his Master the Slip out of the Cage, and he did what

he could to get him Back again, but he would not come. Well! says the

_Boy_, You’ll live to Repent it; for you’ll never be so well Look’d to in

any Other Place. That may very Well be, says the _Bird_; but however, I

had rather be at my Own Keeping then at Yours.

The MORAL.

_Never Well; Full nor Fasting._
