The Moral.

Dangers which befal Fools instruct the Wise.

Another.

Hunt not with Lions, contend not with Kings.

Another out of Juc. Catts.

To be an Ass if tis thy fate,
Choose not a Lion for thy Mate.

Another out of the same.

Tis ill eating Cherries with your Superiors, They will chuse the best, and squirt the stones into your eyes.
