FAB. CCCCL.

A _Bull_ and a _Gnat_.

ye, says he, I’ll Remove. Oh, never Trouble your Head for that, says the

Bull; for ’tis all One to me whether you go or stay. I never felt ye when

you sat down, and I shall take as Little Notice of ye when you Rise.

The MORAL.

in the World, in a Hundred Trifling, Nonsensical People, that will be

still making Themselves more Considerable then they are._
