The Sparrow Counsellor to the Hart.
Fab. 9.
LEt us shew in few verses, that it is a folly to give counsell to other, and not to take heed to our selves. The Sparrow did chide the Hare op∣pressed of the Eagle, and sending forth grievous and bitter teares, saith she, Where is now that thy swiftnesse to be seene? wherefore slackened so thy feet? whilest she speaketh, the Hawke seiseth upon her unawares, and killed her crying with vain com∣plaints: the Hare halfe dead, yet in the comfort of the Sparrows death, said, Thou that whilome wast secure and scornedst our evils, bewailest now thy fatall destiny, with like complaint.
