FAB. LXII. The Old Man and his Sons.

The Father does a heap of Osiers take,
And bids his jarring sons the boundle break,
They strive in vaine, at last the Rods devide,
And then they broke with ease—the Sire reply'd

Morall

Lo thus my sones by concord things obtaine
New vigour, which by discord break in twaine.
