262 Of the Asse and the Calfe.
AN Asse and a Calfe fed togither in one pa∣sture, by chaunce they heard the founde of a bell, which they supposed to be a signe that their enimies were at hand, to whom the Calfe sayde: Let vs be packing hence fellowe, least our eni∣mies take vs prisoners. Nay, flee thou hence ra∣ther (quod the Asse) whom they vse to kill & eate, for I care not, I know this, where soeuer I be∣come my life shall be to cary burdens.
MOR Let not seruants feare much to chaunge their maisters, least the last bée woorser than the firste.
