A26524 | And at how much, said he, do you value that of Iuno? |
A26524 | And being demanded by another, whence she apprehended this ill Omen? |
A26524 | And being demanded how? |
A26524 | And if they be commonly suffered to eat to excess; is not this to make them Gluttons? |
A26524 | And our Blessed Saviour Iesus Christ whilst he was here on Earth, conversing among men, did he not also express himself in Parables? |
A26524 | And that he, who was endued with such a mighty Strength before, has this Madness and Rage added to his Natural Valour? |
A26524 | And that we should divide the Money that would fall to their shares, who will never thank us for it? |
A26524 | And therefore a wise Man being asked, How such a great Common- wealth was so soon run down, and come to nothing? |
A26524 | And when demanded, What he thought of those about him? |
A26524 | And who shall relieve me hereafter when I shall be starving for Hunger? |
A26524 | Animula vagula, blaudula, Hospes comesque Corporis, Quae nunc abibis in loca? |
A26524 | At this sight, his curiosity being moved, Brother, said he, what is it you wear about your Neck that leaves these unseemly Marks behind it? |
A26524 | At which the other Birds admiring, asked her, For what Reason they did her all this Honour? |

A26524 | But Fortune appearing to him, asked him why he attributed her Gifts to the Earth? |
A26524 | Can you listen with pleasure to such idle Tales ▪ and are you so soon weary with hearing serious Matters? |
A26524 | Can you prolong my days beyond their appointed date? |

A26524 | For which of them is it, whose Altars thou hast not defiled, and impiously snatched from them their Sacrifices? |
A26524 | From thence he went to the Potters, and asking that Daughter how all things went with her? |

A26524 | How long, thou Combersom Hill, wilt thou persist to insult over me? |
A26524 | How said the Dragon, Do you expect Gold and Silver for tying and penioning me on that manner? |
A26524 | If they be left to execute their private Piques, and Malicious Tricks, on their Brethren or Companions, is not this to make them become Traitors? |
A26524 | If 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? |
A26524 | Is all your Glory come to this? |
A26524 | Is it not therefore better we should open our Eyes in time, before we put our selves into the Clutches of these Vultures? |
A26524 | Is it possible, to make them hate Idleness, and yet breed them up only in Wantonness and Pleasures? |
A26524 | Is this the reward of all my kindness? |
A26524 | Iupiter asking her why she had a mind to be always troubled with so heavy a Burthen? |
A26524 | Iupiter in a passion asked them, Wherein this Match could result to their inconvenience? |
A26524 | NEar 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? |
A26524 | O insufferable, cryed he, What a stinking place is this? |
A26524 | Of which clamour the Shepherd asking the reason, she having endured the Wolves outrage to her with all that patience? |
A26524 | Or 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? |
A26524 | Pray, said the Fig- tree, where''s your Fruit? |
A26524 | Quid petis a Phebo? |
A26524 | Quis Dives? |
A26524 | Quis enim invitum servare laboret? |
A26524 | Some People afterwards asking them what was become of their old Friend the Ass, whom they used to make much of? |
A26524 | THUS arrogantly did a River revile its own Fountain, Why remainest thou idly there, covered with Weeds and Brambles? |
A26524 | The Dolphin then demanded if he knew the Piraeus? |
A26524 | The Lyon over joyed at the News, asked what it was? |
A26524 | The man beginning to bind him, Did the Fellow, said the Fox, bind you thus hard before? |
A26524 | Then, proceeded the other, will you fight me? |
A26524 | They, imagining he had some cunning stratagem in his Head, asked him the reason of his request? |
A26524 | Those who had known him before, admiring at so strange a Change, asked him, by what means he had acquired all that Wealth? |
A26524 | To teach them Sobriety, and yet suffer them to go on in an uncontrollable Course of Rudeness and Extravagance? |
A26524 | To whom a Fox coming, asked the occasion of his Trouble? |
A26524 | To whom, as one Crios of Aegineta was boldly speaking in behalf of the Inhabitants of his Island; The King asked him his Name? |
A26524 | Travelling 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? |
A26524 | VVhat new sort of Accoutrements are these? |
A26524 | VVhat was it, demanded the troubled Mother, thou sawest? |
A26524 | VVhere is now your Embroidered Saddle, your rich Trappings, and your glistering Bit? |
A26524 | Was you thus cruelly bound? |
A26524 | Well 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? |
A26524 | Well, 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? |
A26524 | What can you do for me now at this last Exigency? |
A26524 | Which the Cat observing, asked, What art thou? |
A26524 | While he was in this thought, the Chief Ape asked him, And what thinkest thou of me and these about me? |
A26524 | While they were in this dispute, a Fox came that way and enquired the cause of their difference? |
A26524 | Who amongst all your Subjects, Royal Sir, has shown that care and concern for the Life and Health of his King as I have done? |
A26524 | Who amongst us is not a slave to some Passion, or corporal Infirmity? |
A26524 | Why 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? |
A26524 | Why, demanded the Cock, what need you fear any harm since the general Peace is made? |
A26524 | Would you then reward me Evil for Good? |
A26524 | You 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? |
A26524 | and 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? |
A26524 | and whence camest thou? |
A26524 | cry''d he, what advantage have I got by this, that for the procuring a trifling convenience, have lost a fruitful Crop? |
A26524 | cry''d he, what have I seen? |
A26524 | cry''d he, what would become of me, should I lose my Sense of Seeing? |
A26524 | cryed the Bear, make holes in my Head? |
A26524 | nor dispose of any part of it to your Friends? |
A26524 | said he with great Insolence; How darest thou thus sawcily stand in my way? |
A26524 | said he, since thus against a Flea you have refused me your help, how can I ever expect it against a greater Enemy? |
A26524 | said he, why dost thou make such haste to thy Destruction? |
A26524 | said he, will you not mend your pace? |
A26524 | said he, would you have your Imagination and all your doubts cleared concerning this strange Portent? |
A26524 | said she, How can you possible live on such course Meats as these? |
A26524 | said she, can you trouble your selves on this manner for such slight Causes; you that are otherwise in all respects made compleat? |
A26524 | said the Dog, wouldst thou bribe me with that, to make me cease my barking? |
