The Cow, the Horse, and the Struggles of Cymon
The fragment recounts Cymon losing his cow and later his horse, then declines into poverty while the landlord seizes his rent. He resolves to work harder, gains wealth again, and learns contentment lies in the mind. The piece ends with a Bristol letter praising British prisoners and charity. John Westey signs as the writer.
