The _Dancing Apes_.
A Certain _Ægyptian King_ Endow’d a _Dancing-School_ for the Institution
of _Apes of Quality_; and when they came to be Perfect in their Lessons,
they were Dress’d up after the best manner, and so brought forth for a
Spectacle upon the Stage. As they were in the Middle of their Gamboles,
some body threw a Handful of Apples among them, that set them presently
together by the Ears upon the Scramble, without any regard in the World
to the Business in Hand, or to the Dignity of their Education.
The MORAL.
_The Force of Nature is infinitely beyond that of Discipline and
Imitation._
