THe Dogge and the Cocke entred friendship and iorneyd togither: whē night drue néere, the Cocke flew vp into a trée, and rested, but the dogge slept at the roote of the hollowe trée. It hapned that the Cocke, as he was wonte, crowed in the night season, whome the Fox hearing, ran towarde him, and as he stoode on the grounde, he prayed the Cocke to come downe, bycause he greatly desired to embrace so trimme a singing bird: the Cocke bad him that he should first wake the porter, which slept at the roote of the trée, and that when he had opened he would come downe: as the Foxe soughte meanes too call him vp, the Dog starte vp and tore him in pieces.
