Oh, the Goat Boughtthe Cow, you know, by Leave of the Calf—which is a Beast of Small Sense—and now, whilethe Goat takes the Milk for its own Use, theCalf has to be Fed on Thino-s that do not Suitit as well as the Milk would do. Just in thisway the State (which is a Calf) lets LandLords own the Land and Feed on the Rent,while it has to do tlie Best it can to keep Lifein it by a Tax on Goods, and Toil, and so forth. 25
