FAB. XC. The Fowler and Partridge.

The Partridge caught for life the man woud bribe
By whedeling to his Netts her heedless tribe,
No thou deserv'st, said he, a Double Doom
Who woudst betray thy friends to martyrdom.

Morall

Traytors who men impeach a life to gaine,
If they be honest as against the graine.
