FAB. LXXI. De Catâ in Foeminam mutatâ.

CAta quaedam, delicium erat formosi cujusdam Adolescentis, Venerem{que} or avit ut in Foeminam mutaret; Dea miserta cupiditatis adolescentuli convertit Catam in puellam quam quum longè speciosa esset, Amator domum abduxit; Venus experiri cupiens si mutatâ facie mutasset & mores, in me∣dium, constituit Murem, quem quum illa aspexit, oblita formae, murem ut caperet persecuta est; Quâ super re indignata Venus denuò eam in priorem Catae formam mutavit.

MORALE.

FAbula innuit quod homo nequam licet personam mutet, mores tamen retinet eosdem.
