The _Frogs_ and the _Sun_.
In the Innocent Age of the World, when there were no Children in Nature,
but those that were begot in Lawful Wedlock, it was in every Bodies
Mouth, that the Sun was about to Marry. The _Frogs_ in General were ready
to Leap out of their Skins for Joy at it; till one Crafty Old Slut in
the Company, advis’d ’em to Consider a little Better on’t, before they
appointed a Day of Thanksgiving for the Blessing. Nor (says she) if we
are almost scorch’d to Death already with _One Sun_, What will become of
us when that _Sun_ shall have _Children_, and the _Heat_ increase upon us
with the _Family_?
The MORAL.
_We take many things at First Blush, for Blessings, that upon Second
Thoughts we find would be most pernicious to us._
