LESSONS LESSONS of Words containing different Sorts of SYLLA BLES. FIRST LESSON. The FABLE of the BIRD-CATCHER and the STORK. UN Bird-catcher took one day, in his nets, feveral Cranes, and feveral Geefe; among ft which there happened to be a Stork, Ce pauvre Oifeau le pria avec inftance de lui fauver la vie, et de lui rendre la liberté; d'autant qu'elle n'étoit ni Oîe, ni Grue, ét qu'elle ne fefoit de tort à perfonne. This unfortunate Bird intreated him earnestly to spare her life, and to fet her at li berty; as she was neither a Goofe nor a Crane, and did no barm to any body. Befides, faidhe, I take great care of my old mother, and feed her with all the attention I am capable of. The unmerciful bird-catcher anfwered her, with an angry tone, what is all that to me? fince thou art now taken with others that have done me harm, thou shalt alfo die with them. MORA L. De plus, dit-elle, j'ai grand foin de ma vieille mere, et la nourris avec toute l'attention dont je fuis capable. L'oifeleur impitoyable lui répondit, avec aigreur, qu'eftce que cela m'importe ? puifque te voilà prife avec les autres qui m'ont fait du tort, tu mourras avec eux. Il ne faut jamais fréquenter que des gens de bien; car ceux qui s'affocient avec les méchans, périront avec eux; quoiqu'ils foient innocens, We must never afsociate with any others but good people; for those who keep company with the wicked, will fuffer with them; though they may be innocent. SE COND SECOND LESSON. The FABLE of the FLY and the HORSE. A Fly fitting upon the pole of a carriage, called to Horfe that was drawing it; how flowly you creep along! won't you mend your pace, and go fafter? Take care, or I fall twinge your neck with the weapon I have The Horfe, with an air of contempt, replied; your commands and threats are not worth my notice; I only dread the man, who, with his long and pliant whip, drives the burden which I bear: therefore, leave off Speaking to me in that faucy and impertinent manner: Cette Fable fert à expofer l'impudente hardieffe, et le ridicule déportement de ces gens qui fans avoir ni force ni pouvoir, ne laffent pourtant pas de faire de vaines menaces. For I know better than you can tell me, when to halt, and when to mend my pace. MOR A L. This Fable ferves to expofe the impudent boldness and ridicutous behaviour of those people, who, having neither abilities nor power, dare neverthelefs utter vain and difdainful threats. |
