” “Not atall: how was she to know whether I should be born black or white?[36]However, suppose she did know; seeing I was born a male, truly sheconferred a great obligation on me in giving me birth, that I mightexpect the butcher every hour. Why should she, who had no power inengendering me, be preferred to her who took pity on me as I lay, and ofher own accord shewed me a welcome affection? It is kindliness makesparents, not the ordinary course {of Nature}. ”
By these lines the author meant to... show that men are averse to fixedrules, but are won by kind services.
[Footnote III. 35: _To a Lamb_)--Ver. 1. Burmann suggests that this Fable is levelled against the cruelty of parents, who were much in the habit of exposing their children, who were consequently far from indebted to them. Schwabe conjectures that the system of employing wet-nurses is intended here to be censured. ] [Footnote III. 36: _Black or white_)--Ver. 10. This, though disregarded by the mother, would be of importance to him, as the black lambs were first selected for sacrifice.
