the most useless amongst men When they heard this their fears suggested to them that when he was departed he might cast some disesteem upon them and therefore they by some artificial snares designed to destroy him hereupon taking a golden Cup out of Apollo's Temple they conceal'd it amongst Aesop's Baggage he not resenting their destructive Arts departed to Phocide the Delphians pursued him and there impeach'd him as guilty of the deformed crime of Sacriledge he disavow'd the Fact but they untied his Baggage and there tracing out the Cup with much Emotion of Spirit discovered it to the City Aesop unwinding their malicious Stratagems desired That neither his Life or Liberty might be made an Oblation to their Fury But they were so far from complying with his Request that they first condemn'd him to a Prison and then by an unjust Sentence to a violent Death Aesop not able to extricate himself out of these Difficulties in which he was now entangled deplored his calamitous Fate amidst his Fetters whilest he was thus condoling his Misfortune one in the Register of his choicest Friends named Demas applied himself to him and implor'd him to discover the cause of so eminent a sorrow Aesop replyed A Woman having newly Enterr'd her Husband moistned his Vrne with her daily Tears one Plowing not far off being warm'd into an Affection towards her abandon'd his Oxen and addressing himself to the Grave engaged with her in mutual Weeping She demanded the Occasion of his Tears Because replyed he I have lately entomb'd a Wife signally good and I find some abatement of Affliction by opening the Sluces of Sorrow The same Fate hath attended me said the Woman Since we are wrap'd up in the same Calamity said he why should not our Bodies be joyn'd in Mariage aswell as our Misfortunes since I affect you as a Wife and thou lovest me as a Husband Whilest they were engaged in this amorous conference a Felon with injurious violence ravished away his Oxen repairing home he determin'd to deplore their Loss with Excess of Tears The Woman again accosting him said Do you weep still Now replied he there is a just cause administred that summons forth these showres of Sorrow So I that have declin'd many dangers have now an unhappy occasion for my tears since I can discover no Art by which I may disentangle my self of this After this the Delphians approach'd and drew him from his Confinement towards the verge of a steep and craggy precipice on which he thus Address'd himself to them When Beasts did parley the Mouse being an intimate Familiar of the Frog by an Invitation caress'd her with a Supper in the Store-house of a rich man where there was variety of Viands and desir'd that there she would sate her self After this Entertainment was concluded the Frog conducted the Mouse to Supper and that he might not be tir'd or faint with swimming she with a slender thread link'd his leg to hers this being performed they endevour'd to ferry over the stream but before they were half wafted over the Mouse was ingulph'd in the Current who dying declared that his Ruine was justly entitled to the Frog but only some more powerful than themselves would vindicate his calamitous Tragedy The Eagle beholding the Mouse dead and floating on the water snatching at him surprizes the Frog likewise who was united with a string to his leg and so both became a Dole to his Rapine Thus I that am ready to fall an untimely Victime to your Injustice shall not want an Expiation for all Greece and Babylon will concenter in a just Vindication of this my undeserved Tragedy But all this had no Influence and made no Impression upon the barbarous and unrelenting Delphians and though Aesop shelter'd himself in Apollo's Temple they dragg'd him thence without any reverence to that Sanctuary and conducted him to a ragged Precipice whither approaching he thus bespoke them You Citizens of Delphos The Hare being pursued by the Eagle retreated into the Nest of a Hornet The Hornet implores the Eagle to compassionate the Hare the Eagle with his wing repulses the Hornet and destroys the Hare The Hornet tracing out the Eagles Nest invaded it and demolish'd her Eggs. The Eagle to decline the like Misfortune the second time erects her Nest in an higher Airie The Hornet pursues her with the same destructive Onsets The Eagle ignorant by what Artifice he might evade these injurious Assaults soars up to Jupiter whose Bird she is styl'd and deposites her Eggs the third time between the knees of the Deity invoking his preservation and protection of them The Hornet composing a Ball of Dirt dropp'd it into the Lap of Jupiter who not remembring the protected Eggs shook off them and the Dirt together destroying those which were intrusted to his patronage and tuition But when he was informed from the Hornet that this was the Expiation of a former Injury desirous that the Eagles progeny by these repeated Injuries might not languish into decay endevour'd that their mutual Feud might be entomb'd in a pacification But the Hornet being refractory Jupiter respited the Hatching of the Eagles till that season the Hornets sally out And you Citizens of Delphos contemn not this Deity from whom I have implor'd a Refuge though his Temple be narrow in its Dimensions The Delphians inexpugnable to these Instructions hurried him away to undergoe the fatal Execution of the Sentence Which when Aesop discover'd and that no soft complyance could charm them he made this rough Address unto them You cruel and obdurate Men A certain Husband-man growing aged that had never beheld the City enjoyn'd his Servants to transport him thither that before his Decease he might take a prospect of it whilest he was engag'd in this Expedition he suffer'd under the anger of an impetuous Storm which was improv'd by a gloomy darkness so that the Asses which conducted the Wagon wherein he was plac'd erring in their way guided him to a Precipice where being upon the verge of an approaching Ruine he cryed out Oh Jove What Injury of mine hath incens'd thee to throw this Misfortune upon me especially since my Death is entitled not to generous Horses or active Mules but to dull and inconsiderable Asses And that 's my instant calamity that I am design'd to fall not by persons of worth or estimate but by the cheapest and ignoblest Dregs of Men. He now upon the margin of the Precipice wrapp'd up his last Application in this Apologue A certain man warp'd with an unnatural Affection towards his Daughter employed his Wife into the Countrey and in that Intervall by an incestuous violence assaults her Virgin-chastity She cryed out Father I could have chose this uncouth crime had been acted by any rather than by your self though my perpetual Infamy had been the Result of such illegal Imbraces This I also urge against you you unjust Delphians I had rather my Fate had thrown me upon Scylla or Charybdis or the Syrtes of
