Roger HestonOh many times did Ernest Hyde and IArgue about the freedom of the will.My favorite metaphor was Prickett’s cowRoped out to grass, and free you know as farAs the length of the rope.One day while arguing so, watching the cowPull at the rope to get beyond the circleWhich she had eaten bare,Out came the stake, and tossing up her head,She ran for us.“What’s that, free-will or what?” said Ernest, running.I fell just as she gored me to my death.
