A man having been a long journey out of Town, for the more speed of his bu∣siness, rid post home; and after he was at Supper, and in Bed with his Wife, he said to her, My Dear, you must not ex∣pect any kind caresses from me to night; for I am so weary that I cannot stir. This caused his Wife to curse in her heart those that had invented the post. A few dayes after walking with his Wife in the yard, he spied the Cock sitting in the Sun asleep by the Henns, without following them. Then he asked his Wife what made the Cock so dull and sleepy by his Hens? I do not know, Husband, said she, unless he hath ridden post.
