FAB. CCCLXXIII.

A _Man_ that Carried his _Plough_ to Ease his _Oxen_.

A _Peasant_ that had Plow’d himself and his Oxen quite a Weary, Mounted

an _Ass_, with the _Plough_ before him, and sent the _Oxen_ to _Dinner_:

The Poor _Ass_, he found was ready to Sink under the Load, and so he took

up the _Plough_ and laid it upon his own Shoulders. Now, says he to the

_Ass_, Thou mayst carry _Me_ well enough, when I carry the _Plough_.
