Iniuriis, infirmitas subiecta.
The mightie fishe, deuowres the little frie,If in the deepe, they venture for to staie,
If vp they swimme, newe foes with watchinge flie,
The caruoraunte, and Seamewe, for theire praie:
Betweene these two, the frie is still destroi'de,
Ah feeble state, on euerie side anoi'de.
