L'Estrange: A Frog and a Mouse

There fell out a bloody Quarrel once betwixt the Frogs and the Mice, about the sovereignty of the Fens; and whilst two of their Companions were disputing it at Sword’s Point, down comes a Kite powdering upon them in the Interim, and gobbets up both together, to part the Fray.

‘Tis the Fate of all Gotham Quarrels, when Fools go together by the Ears, to have Knaves run away with the Stakes.
