A Cat caught a Cock, and took counsel with himself how he might find a reasonable excuse for eating him. He accused him as being a nuisance to men, by crowing in the night time, and not permitting them to sleep. The Cock defended himself by saying that he did this for the benefit of men, that they might rise betimes, for their labors1. The Cat replied: "Although you abound2 in specious3 apologies, I shall not remain supperless;" and he made a meal of him.
It does no good to deny those who make false accusations4 knowingly.
