FAB. LXXXVI. The Bear and Bee-hives.

A Bee's keene sting a Bear did so inrage,
That with the Hives a war he does ingage,
The numbers joyne, and on the foe do fall,
Who grieves, his private fewd prov'd nation all.

Morall

So petty tumults by the Rout persu'd
Have often mighty common wealths subdu'd.
