“ But the Lord may send me such Another Husband; I shall never have such Another Dog. Every Trivial Cross makes us think we are Weary of the World; but our Tongues run quite to Another Tune when we come once to parting with it in Earnest. ”
Roger L'Estrange, Fables of Æsop and Other Eminent Mythologists… (1692)
“ AN Old Man that had Travell'd a Great Way under a Huge Burden of Sticks, found himself so Weary, that he Cast it Down, and call'd upon Death to Deliver him from a more Miserable Life. Death came presently at his Call, and Asked him his Bus'ness, Pray Good Sir, says he, Do me but the favour to Help me up with my Burden again. ”
