FAB. XC. The Fowler and Partridge.
The Partridge caught for life the man woud bribeBy 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.
