217. The Ass and Frogs.

AN Ass sore loaden was with wood, Passing a Fen, fell in the Flood: Whence hee not able to arise, Proclame'd his Grief in hideous cries: Which when th'astonisht Frogs had heard; They all about him gathered. What hee would do, demanding him, So long as they, were hee therein?
MORAL.
Accustom'd troubles, though they grievous bee, Weak Mindes oft brook with much indifferencie: Yet yield to Passion, ev'n in slight Events, When surpriz'd with unusual Accidents.
