The Frogs fearing the warres of the Bull-battell. Fab. 30.
THe lowly are in jeopardy, when as the mightie are at variance. A Frog in her pond, beholding the fight of Buls, Alas, saith she, how great mischiefe abideth us? being asked of another, wherefore she af∣firmed this, when as the Buls con∣tended onely for the Empire over the Herd, and lead a life farre from them; saith she, the reason here is separate and a different kinde: for whosoever being banished from the kingdome of the Wood-land, shall flye away, will come into the holes of the Marshes, and will presse to death the Frogs, over-trodden with his hard hoofes: and thus their fury concerneth our life.
