Betwene dogges and a deere. 53.
Set malles asyde: sayde a bucke to a greyhounde.Beware of pryde: said that dogge to that deere.
Be pacient in trouble: a hounde sayde rounde,
Louyng aduyse to this deere this dyd appeere.
In which counsell geuen, to kyll him they run neere.
Whiche counsayle amounth to this euery man seeth,
Comfort him with their tunges, kyll him with their teeth.
