A Rom ance OF Real Lie,


Once on time certain King with one of his
Lords, while travelling about the country con,
tguous to his estates chanced to trespass upon the
domain of a French Prince, whose fields sbound-
ed in the luscious fruits of the season and as the
King and Lord were regsling themselves, and
filing their vessels with forbidden Injuries, a
servant of the French prince, ever on the alert
for struggling poachers, peremptorily ordered
the festive couple TO leave the premises. Without
remonstrauco and in great trepidslion, the King
fled to the shade of 4 neighboring wood, and
there hiding himself beneath the shadow of an
inviting thicket, eventually fell into the most
profound if not refreshing slumber. The noble
Lord stood his ground; and with enticing and
plausible discourse persuaded the servant Of the
French policeman to return to his master and in-
form him Of the near presence Of distinguished

the attack, it was all that the man who attended
him could do to prevent him from biting people.
