You have read how the Badger entertained the Hedgehog into his Cabin, as his inward friend: but being wounded with the Prickles of his offensive guest, he mannerly desired him to depart in kindness, as he came. The Hedge-hog thus satisfies his just expostulation; that he for his part found himself very well at ease, and they that were not, had reason to seek out another place, that likes them better. So the poor Horse, entreating help of the Man against the Stag; ever after Non equitem dorso, non fraenum depulit ore: They have rid us, and bridled us, and backed us, and spurred us, and got a tyranny over us, whom we took in for our familiar friends and favourites.
