L'Estrange: A Fox and a Hare.

A Fox and a Hare were in a warm Contest once, which of the Two could make the best Shift in the World. When I am pursu'd, says the Hare, I can shew the Dogs a Fair Pair of Heels, and run away from 'em at pleasure: And yet for all that, says the Fox, I have baffled more of 'em with my Wiles and Shifts, than ever You did with your Footmanship.

Wisdom is as much beyond Force, as Men are beyond Brutes.
