243 Of Iupiter and the Rauen.

ON a tyme Iupiter mynding to create a king of the Foules, appoynted a day of assembly, to the ende that he which was comlyest shoulde be appoynted king. The Rauen hearing therof, and knowing his owne deformitie, gathered to∣gither diuers feathers and decked himselfe, that he was goodlyest of all. When the day appoyn∣ted was come, the Foules assembled togither: then Iupiter would haue made the Rauen king bycause of his gaynesse, whereat the other dys∣dayning, plucked euery one his feathers from him, whereof he beeing spoyled was a Rauen as before time.

MOR. He that hangeth on another mans sléeue, if he chance to fall from him, al the world shall know what he is.
