L'Estrange: The Frogs and the Bulls.
There happen'd a Desperate Duel betwixt a Couple of Bulls, upon a Point of Honour; for the Quarrel was about a Mistriss. There was a Frog at the same time upon the Bank of a Lake, looking on to see the Combat. Ah, says the Frog, what will become of us now? Why prithee, says one of his Companions, what are the Bulls to the Frogs, or the Lakes to the Meadows? Very much I can assure ye, says the Frog again, for he that's Worsted, will be sure to take Sanctuary in the Fens, and then are we to be trod to Pieces.
