A _Boar_ Challenges an _Ass_.
There pass’d some Hard Words betwixt a _Boar_ and an _Ass_, and a
Challenge follow’d upon’t. The _Boar_ depended upon his Tusks, and
computed within himself, that Head to Head the t’other could never be
able to Encounter him. So he Advanc’d upon his Adversary: And the _Ass_,
so soon as ever he had him within Distance, turn’d Tayl upon him, and
gave him such a Lash over the Chops with his Iron Hoof, that he made him
stagger again. The _Boar_, after a little Pause, Recover’d himself. Well,
(says he,) I was not aware of such an Attack from that End.
The MORAL.
_No great Enterprize should be Undertaken without considering beforehand
the Good or the Ill that may come of it._
