The Fox and Wolf.
[illustration]
An empty Fox did a gorg'd wolfe accostWhich to himselfe ye spoyles of flocks ingrostThe Wolfe to null his hopes did him insureThat he then struggled with a Calenture,The Fox resents his craft, and vext does tell,
To Neighbouring Swaynes; where was his bloody cellWho straight wth. Doggs ye loaded wolfe subdu'd,And next ye Fox with the same fate pursu'd,Who being both thus made by Iustice twins,In death, a dole is made of both theyr skinns,
Envy's owne poyson still it selfe does' frett.Who starves it selfe to see another eat
