The MORAL.
‘Wise-Men, expos'd by any Accident,‘The Publick Censure, by their Own, prevent:
‘For Malice, that in others Grief is pleas'd,
‘Is tickl'd most, when most they seem diseas'd:
‘But he that at his own Disasters smiles,
‘Forestalls the Market, and the Mob beguiles.
‘So a Gall'd-Horse, that kicks and flings about,
‘Makes special Pastime for the fleering Rout;
‘But when he stands, and quietly is dress'd,
‘Sends the Fools blank away, and bilks the Jest.
