FAB. XXXVI. De Ranis & earum Rege.

GEns Ranarum supplicabat sibi Regem dari, Jupiter dejecit trabem cujus moles quum ingenti fragore quassabat fluvium, territae sile∣bant ranae, Mox Regem venerantur, & tandem accedentes propiùs, omni metu abjecto, iners Rex lusui & contemptui est; Lacessunt igitur Jovem rursus, orantes Regem sibi dari qui strenuus sit; Jupiter dat Ciconiam qui perambulans paludem, quicquid Ranarum obviam fit, vorabat, De cujus tyrannide quaestae sunt, sed frustrà, nam Jupiter non audit, decrevit enim ut quae Regem clementem sunt deprecatae, jam ferant inclementem.

MORALE.

Praesentium nos semper paenitet, credentes nova veteribus esse potiora.
