Fab. CCL.
A Dog and a Lyon.
What a Miſerable Life doſt thou lead, ſays a Dog to a Lyon, to run Starving up and down thus in Woods and Deſerts, without either Meat, or Eaſe. I am Fat and Fair you ſee, and it Coſts me neither Labour, nor Pains. Nay, ſays the Lyon, you have many a Good Bit no Doubt on’t; but then like a Fool you ſubject your ſelf to the Clogs and Chains that go along with it: But for my Own Part, let him ſerve that ſerve Can, and ſerve Will, I'll Live and Die Free.
