FAB. CCCXIX.

A _Boar_ and a _Fox_.

As a _Boar_ was Whetting his Teeth against a Tree, up comes a _Fox_ to

him. Pray what do you mean by That? (says he) for I see no Occasion

for’t. Well, says the _Boar_, but I do; for when I come once to be Set

upon, ’twill be too Late for me to be Whetting, when I should be Fighting.
