FAB. I. The Cock and the A BRISK young Cock, in company with two or threePullets, his mistresses, raking upon a dunghill forsomething to entertain them with, happened toscratch up a jewel; he knew what it was wellenough, for it sparkled with an exceeding brightlustre; but, not knowing what to do with it, endea-vored to cover his ignorance under a gay , shrugging up his wings, shaking his head, andputting on a grimace, he expressed himself to thispurpose : indeed, you are a very fine thing; but Iknow not any business you have here. I make noscruple of declaring that my taste lies quite anotherWiy; and I would rather have one grain of deardelicious barley, than all the jewels under the sun. 26 ^SOPS FABLES. THE APPLICATION. There are several people in the world that pass, with some,for well accomplished gentlemen, and very pretty fellows^though they are as great strangers to the true use of virtue andknowledge, as the Cock upon the dunghill is to the real valueof the Jewel.
