The Owle promised to be ther, for he was ashamed to stick with hir for so smal a trifle. When day was vp & the Sun did shine very cleare, the Larke way∣ted for him, but the Owle durst not appeare by Sun light, bicause she could not sée, and therfore came not, wherwith the larke being offended, al∣wayes after abhorred & pursued hir: wherefore the Owle flieth not by day for feare of the lark, but séeketh his meate by nyght.
