Author Description

Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 8 of 10 You cannot both have one, a maister and a servant, that can command and obey together. Or else the mischief spoken of in the tale of the dragon must needs happen, which was: the tail on a time fell out with the head, and complained, saying, It would another while go before, and would not always come behind. The head granted the tail, which fell out very ill for it, not knowing how to guide the head, and besides that the head thereby was tormented every way, being compelled against nature to follow.
