A Gall'd Ass and a Raven
As an Ass with a gall'd Back was Feeding in a meadow, a Raven
Pitch'd upon him, and there Sate, Jobbing of the Sore. The Ass
fell a Frisking and Braying upon't; which set a Groom, that saw
it at a Distance, a Laughing at it. Well! (says a Wolf that was
passing by) to see the Injustice of the World now! A poor Wolf
in that Raven's Place, would have been Persecuted, and Hunted
to Death presently; and 'tis made only a Laughing Matter, for
a Raven to do the same Thing that would have Cost a Wolf his Life.
