FAB. CCCXXV.

A _Fox_ and a _Hare_.

A _Fox_ and a _Hare_ were in a Warm Contest once, which of the Two could

make the Best Shift in the World. When I am Pursu’d, says the _Hare_,

I can shew the Dogs a Fair Pair of Heels, and run away from ’em at

pleasure: And yet for All That, says the _Fox_, I have Baffled more of

’em with my Wiles and Shifts, then ever You did with your Footmanship.

The MORAL.
