Let those whom folly prompts to sneer
37 Tuesday, 13 March 1753
Calumniari si quis autem voluerit,
Quod arbores loquantur, non tantum ferae;
Fictis jocari nos meminerit fabulis.
Phaedrus [Fab. I Prol. 5 7]
Let those whom folly prompts to sneer,
Be told we sport with fable here;
Be told, that brutes can morals teach,
And trees like soundest casuists preach.

Phaedrus [Fab. I Prol. 5 7]
Let those whom folly prompts to sneer,
Be told we sport with fable here;
Be told, that brutes can morals teach,
And trees like soundest casuists preach.
