The goose says
all the parts of the universe I have an interest in, the earth serves me to walk upon, the sun to light me, the stars have their influence upon me; I have such an advantage by the winds and such by the waters; there is nothing that yon heavenly roof looks upon so favourably as me; I am the darling of nature! Is it not man that keeps, lodges and serves me? T’s for me that he both sows and grinds; if he eats me he does the same by his fellow men and so do I the worms that kill and devour him
from the Apology of Raymond Sebond by Montaigne
