13 Jan 1755:22 (127)
From the Westminster Journal, October 12, 1754. . . Having
taken occasion to observe in a late paper, that the French
ceeded to us in the treaty at Utrecht those very part of the
American continent, to which they now put in a claim. . . I
shall conclude this letter, with an imitation of a fable in
Phoedrus, which may perhaps be deemed a propos.
A kid, an heifer, and a lambkin mild
Rov'd with a lion in the woodlands wild:
Not long they cours'd, before, at lawful prize
They took a stag of an enormous size.
