WO Cocks fought a Duell for the Matery of a Dunghill. He that was Worted, lunk away into a Corner, and Hid himelf; T'other takes his Flight up to the Top of the Houe, and there with Crowing and Clapping of his Wings makes Proclamation of his Victory. An Eagle made a Stoop at him in the Middle of his Exultation, and carry'd him away. By This Accident, the Other Cock had a Good Riddance of his Rival; took Poeion of the Province they Contended for, and had All his Mitrees to Himelf again.
