But to an upper Seiling to confine
Themselvs, whereto the Cat could no waie clime:
The Cat their purpose soon discovered,
Thus counterplotted, hee himself feign'd dead;
Hanging himself up by the heels upon
A hook was fast'ned to an inward stone.
One of the Mice did downward sharply prie;
Hee of the Cat might make discoverie:
Cri'd to him, Friend! did I Cat thee know,
Though thou wert dead, I'd not descend below.
