FAB. CCCXL.

A _Countryman_ and a _Kid_.

A _Country-man_ that was Hamper’d in a _Law-Suit_, had a near Friend and

Kinsman, it seems, that was a _Lawyer_, and to Him he went again and

again, for Advice upon the Point; but he was still so Busie, and Busie,

that he must come Another Time. The Poor Fellow took a Delicate Fat _Kid_

with him, Next Bout, and the Lawyers Clark, upon hearing the Voice of it

at the Door; let the Man in, and carry’d him to his Master, where he laid

Open his Case, Took his Opinion; made Two Legs, One to the _Counsel_ for

_Receiving_ of him; T’other to the _Kid_ for _Introducing_ him, and so

went his Way.

The MORAL.

_Money is a_ Passe-par-Tout.
