170 Of a Serpent and a Husbandman.

A Serpent lurking in y^e entry of a husband∣mans house, slue his boy, for whome his pa∣rents mourned much, but his father for so∣row tooke an axe, went out and would haue kil∣led the Serpent, y^e husbandman séeing him looke vp, made hast to strike him, but he missed him, for he stroke the mouth of his hole: whē the ser∣pent was gon in and the husbandman thynking that he had forgot the wrong, he came and sette bread and salte before the hole, but the Serpent softely hissing, saide: Hereafter neyther trust or friendship shal be betwéene vs as long as I sée a stone and thou thy sonnes graue.

MOR. None forgetteth hatred or vengeaunce as long as he séeth the cause of his gréefe.
