was abroad a Foraging, the Eagle fell
into her Quarters, and carried away a
whole Litter of her Cubs at a fwoop.—*
The Fox returned time enough to fee
the Eagle on the Wing, with the Prey
in her Foot, and to fend many a heavy
Curfe after her. Ir. a very Short time
after, upon the facrificing of a Goat ;
the iame Eagle made a fwoop at a piece
ot flefh upon the Alter, and took it a-
way to her young: But fome live Coals,
