Cook gets Goose cook’d
Captain James Cook, bolde Explorer of th’ British Navie, was kill’d by Natifes of the Sandwich Islands. Th’ Hawaiianes, as th’ Savages call thimselves, were convinced that Cook and Co. were Gods.
Th’ Jig, as they saye, was up when one of Cook’s Creue had the Indecencie to die, prov’ng to th’ Savages that they were, in facte, Mortals.
Our modest Moral: when one decides to play a God, one must be sure to aske Him first.
