FAB. LXVII. The Fox and Crow.

The Crow with laden beak the tree retires,
The Fox to gett her prey her forme admires,
While she to show her gratitude not small,
Offering to give her thanks, her prize lets fall.

Morall

Shun faithless flatterors, Harlots jilting tears.
They are fooles hopes, and youhs deceitfull snares.
