The Hare and many friends information


A derivative woodcut illustrating the fable that appeared in the 15 editions of A Museum for young gentlemen and ladies, 1750–1799

"The Hare and many friends" was the final fable in John Gay's first collection of 1727.[1] It concerns the inconstancy of friendship as exemplified by a hare that lives on friendly terms with the farm animals. When the horns of the hunt are heard, she panics and eventually collapses exhausted, begging each of her acquaintances to help her escape. All give her different excuses, the last being a "trotting calf" who bids her "Adieu" as the hunters burst onto the scene. The poem won widespread popularity for some 150 years afterwards but, on a prose version appearing in a collection of Aesop's Fables, Gay's original authorship has gradually become forgotten.
