FAB. LXVI. The Tailess Fox.
The Fox (who lost her Tayle) perswades the rest,To bob their traines, as most commod, and best,
When one replyd—we more discreet disdaine
To buy conveniences with publict shame.
Morall
He that grave Councell for your good pretends,Fifty to one, promotes his private ends.
