FAB. III. De Leone & quatuor Tauris.

The Lyon saw three Bulls securely feed,
By murmuring springs, in a large flowery mead,
First by perswasive power the friends diuide,
Then makes 'em fall, the Ravage of his Pride.

Morall

Thus mighty states, are to Confusion hurld,
Which when united woud subdue the world.
