FAB. XXII. The Lyon and other Beasts.

Hunting, the beasts agree to share the Prey
One part the Lyon claimes as bearing sway,
An other for his strength, a third his toyle,
The last in gratitude they ought to make his spoile

Morall

Proud Senatts thus by easy Monarchs thrive
Incroaching on their whole prerogative.
