FAB. LXIV. The Old Hound.

The Hownd grown old no more persues ye game,
But bends beneath the Huntman's weighty Cane,
And being opprest, does thus his cace bemone,
O spare my age for what in youth I've done.

Morall

Old servants when their labour's past are scorn'd,
And out of favour and of Service turn'd.
