The MORAL.

‘Thus prudent Men, when once from Danger free'd,
‘With greater Caution in their Ways proceed;
‘Correct the Errors, and Neglects avoid,
‘Which made them liable to be destroy'd:
‘From former Suff'rings, they Suspicion learn,
‘And proper Means to shun the like, discern.
‘Burnt Children thus are quickly taught the Art
‘To flie the dreaded Fire that made them smart.
