FAB. VII. The two thirsty Frogs.
TWO Frogs, who wanting Water, were con∣straindTheir antient Habitations to desert,Made many a weary step, until at lastThey in a deep Wells bottom water found.Which seen, one said let us leap in and drink;To whom the wiser Frog this answer made,Let's look before we leap, for if the DroughtShould last, and water fail us in this Well,How can we live here? how can we get out?
The MORAL.
First eye the end, and then begin to act.
