FAB. CCCXLI.

A _Weak Young Man_ and a _Wolfe_.

A _Creeping Young Fellow_ that had Committed Matrimony with a Brisk

Gamesome Lass, was so Alter’d upon’t in a few Days, that he was liker a

_Sceleton_ then a _Living Man_. He was Basking himself One time in the

Gleam of the Sun, and some Huntsmen pass’d by him upon the Chase of a

_Wolfe_ that led ’em That Way. Why how comes it (says he) that you don’t

Catch That _Wolfe_? They told him that he was too Nimble for ’em. Well

(says he) If My Wife had the Ordering of him, she’d Spoil his Footmanship.

The MORAL.
