FAB. LXXXIV. The two Pots.

Two Potts (of Earth and Brass) at distance swim,
The first of lighter burden cuts the stream.
The Brass intreats her stay, but she replyd
No, thines too rough to touch my tender side.

Morall

Mix not with those whose wealth for thines too great,
To keepe an equal pace with them thou't break.
