L'Estrange: Mercury and Fishermen.

Some Fisherman that had caught more Fish than they know what to do withal, invited Mercury to a part with them; but finding that the Invitation was not so much matter of Respect, as to get rid of the Glut they had taken, he very fairly left them to Eat by themselves.

In all the Good Offices of Human Society, 'tis the Will and the Affection that creates the Obligation.
