Here was a very Good Hone-Dog, but o Dangerous a Cur to Strangers, that his Mater put a Bell about his Neck, to give People Notice before-hand when he was a Coming. The Dog took this Bell for a Particular Mark of his Maler’s Favour, till One of his Companions hew’d him his Mitake. You are Mightily Out (ays he) to take This for an Ornament, or a Token of Eteem, which is in truth, no Other then a Note of Infamy et upon you for your Ill Manners.
