Methinks, as great man as the world
takes you to be, and as you may think your

with too much contempt. l am told by

Give me leave to conclude with aory !;
Once upon time, iaw brave large bull,
of great ccmlinefs and dignity, brought out
upon green near 3 country village to Be
baited. Among the bull dogs fetched 20
bait him, were ieen feveral duty. dcformed
ours, called houle dogs, that vented all then
cholcr in filthy noiie. they barked aloud
and bitterly, and diaurbed every body bu; the
bull, who at al their mapping, hliysling, and
inarliag, never termed lis hcat, nor moved
foot or horn. A, lait the iqaire Of the
place. who prsiidcd az the entertainment,
shewed himleif man of talte and equity.
