FAB. CVI. The Stag looking into the Water.
The stag admires the beauty of his hornesBut the ill graces of his legs he scornes,
The Dogs aproach, and with those legs he'ad fled
Had he not been intangled by the head.
Morall
That which we vallue most may help us leastAnd often me despise what serves us best.
