“Then I tell thee,” said the master, “he is as certainly a he ass as I am Don Quixote and thou Sancho Panza, at least so he seems to me.”—Don Quixote.
A COINCIDENCE FROM BUTLER.
Shall hair that on a crown has place
Become the subject of a case?
The fundamental law of nature
Be over-ruled by those made after?
’Tis we that can dispose alone
Whether your heirs (hairs) shall be your own.
Hudibras.
