All People that set up for a Reputation in the world upon the Credit of
other Mens Labours, fall under the Reproof of this Fable; and the Judges
in those Cases are not always so Tender, Circumspect and Conscientious
as the Wasp was in this; for they let False and Frivolous Pretenders run
away many times, not only with the Character, but with the Reward, both
of Honester and Soberer Mens Virtues. There’s no Proof like Matter of
_Fact_, and putting the Drones to the Test of making _Wax_ and _Hony_.
