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.
