A _Council_ of _Birds_ for _Chusing_ more _Kings_.
The _Birds_ were Mightily Possess’d with an Opinion, that it was utterly
Impossible for the _Eagle_ alone to Administer Equal Justice to All her
Subjects; And upon This Ground, there was a Motion put up, for Changing
the _Monarchy_ into a _Republique_: But an Old Cunning _Crow_, that saw
further into a Millstone then his Neighbours, with One Word of his Mouth
Dash’d the Project. _The More Kings you Have_, says he, _the more Sacks
there are to be Fill’d_: And so the Debate fell.
The MORAL.
_The Common People Hate all Government, and when they are Sick of it in
One Form, they Fly to Another, but still they rather Incline to That
which they Phansy Easiest to themselves._
