The People made port he aw with his Bald Crown, and o very fairly he put In with them to Laugh for Company. Why Gentlemen (ays he) would you have me keep other Peoples Hair Better then I did my Own?

Here were Two Pots that tood near One Another by the Side of a River, the One of Bras, and the other of Clay.

Fear Nothing, fays the Bras Pot, I'll do you No Hurt: No, No, ays T’other, not willingly; but if we hould happen to Knock by Chance, 'twould be the ame Thing to Me: So that You and I hall never do well together.
