Not illustrated. 1754 edition. Excerpt: ...And call'd for Wisdom, which he granted; The only treasure 'that they wanted, And made them rich indeed. FABLE FABLE LVI. The Oyster and the Rat. ALearned unexperienc'd Rat, Who ne'er had seen nor this nor thaj, Imprudent, not conceited yet, For that by travelling he must get, Resolv'd like other youths to roam: So left his Lares and his home.
