T Nor can princes pursue a more just maxim than this ; for a trai- tor is a villain of no principles, that sticks at nothing to promote his own selfish ends : he that betrays one cause for a great sum of money, will betray another upon the same account ; and therefore it must be very impolitic in a state to suffer such wretches to live in it. Since then this maxim is so good, and so likely at all times to be practised, what stupid rogues must they- be, who undertake such precarioui dirty work! ...If they miscarry, it generally proves fatal to them from one side or the other ; if they succeed, perhaps they may have the promised reward, but are sure to be detested, if suffer- ed to live, by the very person that employs them. . ESOFS FABLES. FAB. The PORCUPINE and the SNAKES. A PORCUPINE, wanting to shelter himself, desired 4* a nest of Snakes to give him admittance into their cave. They were prevailed upon, and let him in ac- cordingly ; but were so annoyed with his sharp prickly quills that they soon repented of their easy compliance, and entreated the Porcupine to withdraw, and leave them their hole to themselves.
