FAB. LXXVIII. The Angler and Little Fish.

The little fish implores he may be throwne
Back to the stream till he were bigger growne,
And then he'd come to's angle, no quoth he
While thou art here small friend I'm shure of thee.

Morall

Let no false flatterers have it in their power
To make thee quite what gone is thine no more
