He here, however, soon found that the latter loaded him with heavier burthens, and kept him on poorer fare than he had been used to before. So that it is not of less importance to the good of the public in general, than our own particular quiet and happiness, that every man should be easy and contented with the condition which Providence and his education have allotted him.Īn Ass which had been some time in the service of a Gardener, and carried his vegetables to market, became tired of his place, and petitioned Jupiter that he would permit him to enter upon the service of a neighbouring Potter. The vanity and ignorance of the men of this world are so great, that if every man might be what he desired, few would be what they ought. This fable is a lively representation of the instability of mankind, who are seldom or never contented with their own lot, But whatever men may think, it is a thousand to one but they know less of any other way, than of that in which they have been bred: and if Providence should comply with their humorous request, in such a case, they Would probably find themselves more at a loss, and more uneasy in their new station of life, than ever they were in the old at least, there is great reason to suppose they would. But, as soon as the poor Ass was sensible what a master he had got, he could not forbear upbraiding himself with his great folly and inconstancy, which had brought him to a master not only more cruel and exacting than any a the former, but one that would not spare his very hide after he was dead. Jupiter could not chuse but laugh at his folly however, he granted his request this time also, and made him over to a tanner. Again he came, and made supplications, beseeching the God to give him one that was more mild or, at least, to let him have any other master but this. Jupiter, consenting to his petition, gave him a tile-maker, who loaded him with tiles, and made him carry heavier burthens than before. And other projects that require little flex, as it brittle.A CERTAIN Ass, which belonged to a gardener, and was weary of carrying his heavy burthens, prayed to Jupiter to give him a new master.
