FAB. X. The Eagle's Nest.

A Foxes cub the kingly Eagle prest,
And bore the trembler to her royall nest,
The Fox inrag'd, the sacred Pile will burne,
To save her throne the prise she does returne.

Morall

The haughty great with caution shoud oppress,
Since Slaves provok'd deep injuryes may redress.
