Some Men are Worse then some Brutes, and little less then Beasts in
the shape of Reasonable Creatures. This Fable shews us, that Men of
Bloud will stick at no Profitable Villany, but they are Blind, Deaf,
and Inexorable where Mony’s in the case. The Charms of Reason, Art, and
Innocence, are Lost upon ’em, and the Sea it self we see, had more Pity
for _Arion_ then the Men. The _Dolphin_ represents the Instrument of an
Over-ruling Providence that interposes Miraculously to our Deliverance,
when ordinary Means fail us. The Wonderful Discovery in the Conclusion,
serves to shew us that _Murder will out_.
