L'Estrange: A Tyger and a Fox.

As a Huntsman was upon the Chase, and the Beasts flying before him; Let me alone, says a Tyger, and I'll put an end to this War myself: At which Word, he advanc'd towards the Enemy in his single Person. The Resolution was no sooner taken, but he found himself struck through the Body with an Arrow. He fasten'd upon it presently with his Teeth; and while he was trying to draw it out, a Fox ask'd him, from what bold Hand it was that he receiv'd this Wound. I know nothing of that, says the Tiger, but by the Circumstances, it should be a Man.

There is no Opposing Brutal Force to the Stratagems of Human Reason.
