Roger L'Estrange, Fables of Æsop and Other Eminent Mythologists… (1692)
“ This Petulant Liberty of Æsop, Gall'd his Master to the very Soul of him, and one of the Guests, to Help forward his Evil Humour; Cry'd out, This Fellow is enough to make a Body Mad. Sr (says Æsop) you have very Little Business to doe of your own I perceive, by the Leizure you have to Intermeddle in Other Peoples Matters; You would find some other Employment else, then to Irritate a Master against his Servant. ”
