95 Of a Leoparde and an Vnicorne fighting with a Dragon.

THe Leopard sometime fought with a Dra∣gon, agaynst whom (bicause he could not pre∣uayle) he besought the Vnicorne to ayde him, and sayd: Thou art a godly beast, expert in figh∣ting and valiaunt, wherefore I pray thée helpe me. The Vnicorne hearing this commendation of him selfe, answered: Thou sayest truth, for I haue skill in fighting, and therfore I will valy∣auntly defende thée, for when the Dragon shall open his mouth, I wil thrust him into the throte with my horne. When they were both come to the Dragon, the Leoparde gaue the onset, tru∣sting to the strength of the Vnicorne, but the Dragon fought with them and spit fire at them. The Vnicorne séeing him open his mouth, ran hastely to thrust him through, but he caste hys heade at one ••••de, whereby the Vnicorne mis∣sing him, smote his horne faste into the ground and dyed.

MOR He that will fight for another, séeketh his owne destruction.
