The Ant and Grashopper.
[illustration]
The boasting Fly, did ye. sage Ant vpbraydThat she in mosehills her darke mansions madeWhere her course foode was meaner then her Cell,When she in splendid palaces did dwellAnd for her dayly beverage did sup(Rivall wth. Kings) of ye same royall cup
The Ant reply'd all thy acheivments areObtayn'd by theft, & still preserv'd wth. feareSince glu••••ouy with sloath vuited, hasThe product been of thy dull life whereasAs my support was by lust Labour gaind,Tis with coutent & calme repose maiutaind
Som melt away, that by profuse expence.Others improve by Art, and providence.
