L'Estrange: The Dancing Apes.

A Certain Aegyptian King endow's a Dancing-School for the Institution of Apes of Quality: And when they came to be perfect in their Lessons, they were Dress'd up after the best Manner, and so brought forth for a Spectacle upon the Stage. As they were in the middle of their Gambols, some Body threw a Handful of Apples among them, that set them presently together by the Ears upon the Scramble, without any Regard in the World to the Business in Hand, or to the Dignity of their Education.

The Force of Nature is infinitely beyond that of Discipline and Imitation.
