It chaunced a greate storme to aryse, that the ship was drowned, & al their goodes lost, and they escaped to lande: since which time the Cormorante sitteth on the sea shore, to sée if the sea will cast vp the Brasse any where. The Bat fearing his creditours, sheweth not his head by day lighte, but goeth to féede by nyghte. And the Bramble dothe catche holde of the garments of suche as are passers by, séeking if hée can fynde his owne.
