The Riddles of Heraclitus and Democritus | ||

[I sawe one stately stalking like a crane]
I sawe one stately stalking like a craneStrike at a stripling, something like a man,
At the first stroke, he gaue the wretch his bane,
Threw him in the dirt, and with him ran
Vnto the water, where he washt and beate him,
And at a mouthfull at the last he eate him.
