Emblemes and Epigrames | ||
(11) Pride.
The morrall Seneca, whose pennintreatinge matters graue,
I finde, amongst his learned workes,
this worthie tale to haue:—
13
which iustice did vpholde.
to him, three sonns did nature give,
of courage feirce and bould.
To eche, the choice of birdes hee gaue,
wherbye that hee might learne,
the severall humors of their minde
and manners to discerne.
The eldest, of his haughtie harte,
the Eagle prowd did chuse.
the second, of fiers disposition,
the hawke would not refuse.
The yongest, of a myleder minde,
the vulgar thrushe did take;
On whome the kinge bestowd his crowne,
and him his heire did make.
Iudge what the kinge ment by this guifte,
for I maye not disclose it.
And thow perhapps maie be deceived
in thinkinge for to glose it.
