The Fox and Stork.
[illustration]
The Fox the Crane did Solemnly inviteOnly to Tantalite her Appetite.For nothing he but liquid Fare provides,That spreading ore the table thinly glyds.Of which has speare like beake could nothing supWhilst the sly Fox licks all vnkindly vp.
The Crane this false Imposture to requiteThe Fox to new Carresses did inviteBut a glass viall did her Cates conteyne.Which only she wth. length of bill could drayne.The Fox thus foyld, wth. her more powerfull Arts.To his owne Cell wth. scorne & shame departs.
Thus Frand t•• Entangle fraud is oft design'd.And falsehood is by falsehood Countermind.
