_Boys_ and _Frogs_.
A Company of Waggish _Boys_ were watching of _Frogs_ at the side of a
Pond, and still as any of ’em put up their Heads, they’d be Pelting them
down again with Stones. Children, (says one of the _Frogs_,) you never
Consider, that _though this may be Play to you, ’tis Death to us_.
The MORAL.
_Hard-heartedness and Cruelty is not only an Inhuman Vice, but worse then
Brutal: For such Men take Delight in Blood, which Beasts spill only in
Self-Defence, or in case of Necessity to satisfie Hunger._
