FAB. XCI. The Eagle and Crow.

The Crow who saw an Eagle seize a Lamb,
Thinks with like force to beare away a Ram,
The Shepherd takes him captive, prunes his wings,
And him in scorn t'insulting Children flings

Morall

Ambition shoud to mighty parts be borne,
Least wanting sence it fall the vulgar scorne.
