isanthrop
Misanthropus was the name of an ill-natured man, which he obtained
by a custom of catching a great number of
mice, then shutting them up in a room,
and throwing a cat among them. Upon which his fellow
citizens called him Mice and throw puss. The reader observes how much
the orthography hath been changed
without altering the sound: But such depravations we owe to the injury of
time, and gross ignorance of transcribers. - (pun)
