Abstemius's Fables (Sir Roger L'Estrange)

270. (Abstemius 16) A Fly upon a Wheel.

What a Dust do I raise! says the Fly upon the Coach-Wheel? and what a rate do I drive at, says the same Fly again upon the Horse's Buttock?
This Fly in the Fable, is every Trifling Arrogant Fop in Nature, by what Name or Title soever Dignify'd, or Distinguish'd.
