A26524A Cuccow asked the small Birds why they made such haste from her, sheltring themselves in Hedges and Bushes whenever she appear''d?
A26524A Dunghil Cock scratching in a Heap of Dirt, espyed a Precious Stone, on which casting a scornful Eye, What a glittering thing, said he, art thou?
A26524A Hog?
A26524A Saucy Fly sitting on the Pearch of a Charriot, called out to the Mule that drew it, Why are you so Lazy?
A26524A Wolf asked a Bear, why he carried his Head hanging down on that manner?
A26524AMongst other pieces of Meat which lay on a Butchers Stall, a Man observing the head of an Ape there to be Sold, asked what kind of Tast it had?
A26524And at how much, said he, do you value that of Iuno?
A26524And being demanded by another, whence she apprehended this ill Omen?
A26524And being demanded how?
A26524And if they be commonly suffered to eat to excess; is not this to make them Gluttons?
A26524And our Blessed Saviour Iesus Christ whilst he was here on Earth, conversing among men, did he not also express himself in Parables?
A26524And that he, who was endued with such a mighty Strength before, has this Madness and Rage added to his Natural Valour?
A26524And that we should divide the Money that would fall to their shares, who will never thank us for it?
A26524And therefore a wise Man being asked, How such a great Common- wealth was so soon run down, and come to nothing?
A26524And when demanded, What he thought of those about him?
A26524And who shall relieve me hereafter when I shall be starving for Hunger?
A26524Animula vagula, blaudula, Hospes comesque Corporis, Quae nunc abibis in loca?
A26524At this sight, his curiosity being moved, Brother, said he, what is it you wear about your Neck that leaves these unseemly Marks behind it?
A26524At which the other Birds admiring, asked her, For what Reason they did her all this Honour?
A26524At which words he standing silent; Well, demanded some that were present, but what became of Ceres?
A26524Ay, said the Bear, but who is able to do that?
A26524BETVVIXT A Peach Tree, and an Apple Tree, arose a Question, which bare the best and fairest Fruit?
A26524Being then asked by his Acquaintance, How he came to be reduced to that Low Ebb of Poverty?
A26524But Child, replied the Father, if thou desire Sun- shine, and thy Sister Rain, with which of you shall I joyn my Prayers?
A26524But Fortune appearing to him, asked him why he attributed her Gifts to the Earth?
A26524Can you listen with pleasure to such idle Tales ▪ and are you so soon weary with hearing serious Matters?
A26524Can you prolong my days beyond their appointed date?
A26524Do ye think, said the Boy, I could not learn A if I would?
A26524Do you not think I have the Senses of Smelling and Seeing, as well as your self?
A26524Do you then, demanded the Fox, make use of none of this Treasure?
A26524Dost thou not consider that thou may''st, perhaps, be slain in the Battel, to which thou art going?
A26524Dost thou see, said she, stretching out her self, How nimbly I advance to over- top thee?

A26524For which of them is it, whose Altars thou hast not defiled, and impiously snatched from them their Sacrifices?
A26524From thence he went to the Potters, and asking that Daughter how all things went with her?
A26524Good Sir, said the Youth, let me know what that was?
A26524Have I ever deserved this ill usage from you?
A26524How long, thou Combersom Hill, wilt thou persist to insult over me?
A26524How said the Dragon, Do you expect Gold and Silver for tying and penioning me on that manner?
A26524If they be left to execute their private Piques, and Malicious Tricks, on their Brethren or Companions, is not this to make them become Traitors?
A26524If they be permitted to run on in a full Carrier of their Rage and Revenge; is not this to encourage them hereafter to be Assassinates?
A26524Is all your Glory come to this?
A26524Is it not therefore better we should open our Eyes in time, before we put our selves into the Clutches of these Vultures?
A26524Is it possible, to make them hate Idleness, and yet breed them up only in Wantonness and Pleasures?
A26524Is this the reward of all my kindness?
A26524Iupiter asking her why she had a mind to be always troubled with so heavy a Burthen?
A26524Iupiter in a passion asked them, Wherein this Match could result to their inconvenience?
A26524NEar the break of day, a Wolf meeting a Dog in the fields, asked him how he came to be so Fat, and in such good plight as he was?
A26524O insufferable, cryed he, What a stinking place is this?
A26524Of which clamour the Shepherd asking the reason, she having endured the Wolves outrage to her with all that patience?
A26524Or can you purchase me a good Conscience when I shall appear in the other World, to render an account of all the Actions of my Life?
A26524Pray, said the Fig- tree, where''s your Fruit?
A26524Quid petis a Phebo?
A26524Quis Dives?
A26524Quis enim invitum servare laboret?
A26524Some People afterwards asking them what was become of their old Friend the Ass, whom they used to make much of?
A26524THUS arrogantly did a River revile its own Fountain, Why remainest thou idly there, covered with Weeds and Brambles?
A26524The Dolphin then demanded if he knew the Piraeus?
A26524The Lyon over joyed at the News, asked what it was?
A26524The man beginning to bind him, Did the Fellow, said the Fox, bind you thus hard before?
A26524Then, proceeded the other, will you fight me?
A26524They, imagining he had some cunning stratagem in his Head, asked him the reason of his request?
A26524Those who had known him before, admiring at so strange a Change, asked him, by what means he had acquired all that Wealth?
A26524To teach them Sobriety, and yet suffer them to go on in an uncontrollable Course of Rudeness and Extravagance?
A26524To whom a Fox coming, asked the occasion of his Trouble?
A26524To whom, as one Crios of Aegineta was boldly speaking in behalf of the Inhabitants of his Island; The King asked him his Name?
A26524Travelling on, he saw by the side of a Wood, a Carpenter cleaving a Tree, to whom he running, Art thou, demanded the Lion, a Man?
A26524VVhat new sort of Accoutrements are these?
A26524VVhat was it, demanded the troubled Mother, thou sawest?
A26524VVhere is now your Embroidered Saddle, your rich Trappings, and your glistering Bit?
A26524Was you thus cruelly bound?
A26524Well Sir, said he, you that are so wondrous wise, give me a reason for what you see I have now been doing, if you can?
A26524Well, said they modestly to those who had formerly insulted over them; How much better is it now to be a low ill shaped Tree, than a Beautiful one?
A26524What can you do for me now at this last Exigency?
A26524Which the Cat observing, asked, What art thou?
A26524While he was in this thought, the Chief Ape asked him, And what thinkest thou of me and these about me?
A26524While they were in this dispute, a Fox came that way and enquired the cause of their difference?
A26524Who amongst all your Subjects, Royal Sir, has shown that care and concern for the Life and Health of his King as I have done?
A26524Who amongst us is not a slave to some Passion, or corporal Infirmity?
A26524Why then should Childrens Constitutions, be accustomed to that which may fail, and not rather to that which they may scarcely expect ever to miss of?
A26524Why, demanded the Cock, what need you fear any harm since the general Peace is made?
A26524Would you then reward me Evil for Good?
A26524You have loved me while I was vigorous and able to serve you, why should you forget your past Friendship, and treat me thus cruelly in my Old Age?
A26524and what great reward can tempt you thus to deprive your self of sleep, and to pass all your days here in the horrour of Night and Darkness?
A26524and whence camest thou?
A26524cry''d he, what advantage have I got by this, that for the procuring a trifling convenience, have lost a fruitful Crop?
A26524cry''d he, what have I seen?
A26524cry''d he, what would become of me, should I lose my Sense of Seeing?
A26524cryed the Bear, make holes in my Head?
A26524nor dispose of any part of it to your Friends?
A26524said he with great Insolence; How darest thou thus sawcily stand in my way?
A26524said he, since thus against a Flea you have refused me your help, how can I ever expect it against a greater Enemy?
A26524said he, why dost thou make such haste to thy Destruction?
A26524said he, will you not mend your pace?
A26524said he, would you have your Imagination and all your doubts cleared concerning this strange Portent?
A26524said she, How can you possible live on such course Meats as these?
A26524said she, can you trouble your selves on this manner for such slight Causes; you that are otherwise in all respects made compleat?
A26524said the Dog, wouldst thou bribe me with that, to make me cease my barking?
A26524what could I alone do, towards the Digging such a Field as this?

A26505''T is only a Shadow, says he, that you Boggle at: And what is that Shadow, but so much Air that the Light can not come at?
A26505''T is with Creaking Wheels as''t is with Courtiers, Physicians, Lawyers( and with whom not?)
A26505''T was well enough said of a Fellow in a Mad- House that was asked in the Interval of his Distemper, how he came to be there?
A26505( Cries the Multitude) are not our Bodies of the same Clay; and our Souls of the same Divine Inspiration with our Masters?
A26505( Or which is all one, with the Common and Professed Enemies of Reason and Virtue,) Did ever any Creature make a Friend or Confident of them?
A26505( says t''other) Do you put your Head into the Mouth of a Wolf, and then, when y''ave brought it out again safe and sound, do you talk of a Reward?
A26505( says the Man again,) will you not take that for Satisfaction?

A26505Ah, says the Frog, what will become of Us now?
A26505Alas Child, says the Mother, how is it possible to make any one Garment to Fit a Body that appears every Day in a several Shape?

A26505Alas( says she) What am I to Dye for now?
A26505All my Business is my Song; and what will you be the Better for my Death?
A26505Am I not serv''d in Gold and Silver?
A26505Am not I the Taster to Gods and Princes, in All their Sacrifices and Entertainments?
A26505And D''ye not Understand that when I have That Master of mine upon my Back, the Whole Weight of the State rests upon My Shoulders?
A26505And That which was Prov''d True Before, Prove False again?
A26505And are not Virtue and Vice as Like, in several Instances, as One Egg is to Another?
A26505And did they run away from you, says the Lion, or from me, d''ye think?
A26505And have we not Millions of Vain, Empty Pretenders in the World, that Talk at the same Rate, and with as Little Colour, either of Truth, or of Reason?
A26505And how should it be otherwise with People that are never Pleas''d with the Present?
A26505And in like manner, are not Lyons, Tygers, Bears, Wolves, Foxes, and other Beasts of Prey Reclaim''d by Good Usage?
A26505And is This All?
A26505And is not my Meat and Drink still of the Best?
A26505And of that which I am to be never the better for neither?

A26505And that there were no more betwixt them then Cross or Pile, which should be the Lord, and which the Scoundrel?

A26505And what have You now to Pretend to all this While?
A26505And what have ye found?
A26505And what is All This now, but the True Moral of the Ape with her Brats here in the Fable?
A26505And what was all this good for?
A26505And what was the End on''t now, but the Wheel of a Cart drove over her a while after, and Crush''d her to pieces?
A26505And what was the Punishment?
A26505And what''s Title and Greatness, with Carking Thoughts, and a Troubled Mind to Attend it?

A26505And what, says he, are we going just now?
A26505And whence comes this Confusion and Self- Contradiction all this while?
A26505And why among them, to Taylors above the Rest?
A26505And why should not All the Works of the Creation Expostulate at the same Rate, and upon the same Grounds?

A26505As for Example now, what is it that Troubles me?
A26505As for Instance ▪ Why should not I be This or That, or be so or so, as well as He or T''other?
A26505As if the Author should say, Gentlemen, here''s a Scheme of Politicks submitted to your Grave Consideration, pray''e what''s your Opinion on''t?
