There was a _Dog_ and a _Cat_ brought up in the same House, from a
_Whelp_ and a _Kitling_, and never were Two Creatures better together; so
Kind, so Gamesome and Diverting, that it was half the Entertainment of
the Family to see the Gamboles and Love-Tricks that pass’d betwixt them.
Only it was Observ’d, that still at _Meal-times_ they would be Snarling
and Spitting at One Another under the Table: And what was the whole
Sum of the Controversie at last, but a _Dog-and-Cat-Wrangle_ about the
Picking of a Bone, or the Licking of a Trencher?
The MORAL.
_Flesh and Blood does Naturally Consult its own Advantage; and when that
comes to be the Question_, There’s _the Bone that in some Degree or other
sets all Mortals together by the Ears_.
