_Hercules_ and _Pluto_.
When _Hercules_ was taken up to Heaven for his Glorious Actions, he made
his Reverence in Course to all the Gods, ’till he came to _Pluto_, upon
whom he turn’d his Back with Indignation and Contempt. _Jupiter_ ask’d
him, what he meant by that Disrespect? Why, says _Hercules_, that _Son of
Fortune_ Corrupts the whole World with _Mony_, Encourages all manner of
Wickedness, and is a common Enemy to all Good Men.
The MORAL.
_This is only to shew the Opposition betwixt a Narrow, Sordid, Avaritious
Humour, and the Publick-Spirited Generosity of a Man of Honour, Industry,
and Virtue._
