THE CROCODILE.
Reading edition
THE Crocodile, with watery eyes, O’er man and every creature cries, Then feeds with pleasure on his prey; So hypocrites their friends betray.
This terrible creature is said to weep over his prey before he devours it, as if he was unwilling to destroy any thing; but in truth, that whining is only to bring other creatures to see what’s the matter, that Mr. Crocodile may get another snap for his belly.
