(Of Cats that eat Rats.)

[
Of Asses that are beaten.)
Footnote 48: Compare No. 845.] O Nature! Wherefore art thou so
partial; being to some of thy children a tender and benign mother,
and to others a most cruel and pitiless stepmother? I see children

benefitting those who ill treat them.
(
Of Men who sleep on boards of Trees.)
Men shall sleep, and eat, and dwell among trees, in the forests and
open country.
