A _Lyon_ and a _Hog_.
A _Lyon_ that found it Extreme Irksome to Live Alone, gave the Beasts of
the Forest to Understand, that he was Resolv’d to make Choice of Some or
Other of his Subjects for a _Friend_ and _Companion_. There was a Mighty
Busle, who should be the Favourite, and to the Wonder of All the rest,
the _Lyon_ Pitch’d upon a _Hog_; for, says the _Lyon_, he is True and
Faithful to his Friend, and will stand by him in All Times, and Hazards.
The MORAL.
_A True Friend can ne’er fail of being a Loyal Subject: And That’s the
Man that a Brave Prince will make Choice of for a Particular Favourite._
