Of the Frogs and their King.
De   Ranis    &  eárum Rege.

The Nation of Frogs, when it was free,
 Gens      Ranárum, cum  esset libera,

Pray'd to   Jupiter to have a King given them.
supplicábat Jovi            regem  dari  sibi.

Jupiter laught at the Petition of the Frogs; they,
Jupiter ridére        vota     Ranárum;      illae,

nevertheless, press him again  and   again,  till
tamen,        instáre   iterum atque iterum, donec

they drive    him to it. He threw down a Log,
perpellerent ipsum.      Ille dejécit  trabem,

with that great Mass he shakes the River with a
  eá        mole    quassat   fluvium

mighty Noise.    The Frogs, frighted, are silent;
ingénti fragóre. Ranae,     teritae,   silent;

they shew Obeysance to their King, they draw near
   venerántur          Regem,     accédunt propius*

by degrees: at length, their Fear being cast off,
pedeténtim: tandem,       metu        abjécto,

they leap upon and leap down from him. Their
  insúltant   et        desúltant.

slugish King is Sport and Scorn.      Again
Iners   rex est lusui et  contemptui. Rursum

they importune Jupiter, they beg a King to
 lacéssunt    Jovem,    orant    Regem

be given them which might be active.  Jupiter
  dare        qui     sit  strenuus. Jupiter

gives them the Stork. He virogously walking through
   dat    Ciconiam.  Is perstrenue perambulans

the Fen, devours whatever of the Frogs
paludem, vorat   quicquid   Ranárum

comes in his way. Therefore the Frogs in vain
   obviam.       Itaque      Ranae   frustra

complain of his Cruelty, Jupiter hears them not,
questae hujus saevitiam. Jupiter   non audit,

for they complain yet to this day; for at Night,
nam quaerúntur   adhuc hodie;     vesperi enim,

the Stork is going to bed, they getting out of their
Cicania   eúnte    cubitum,  egréssae       ex

Holes,  murmur with a hoarse croaking. But
antris, murmurant rauco      ululátu.  Sed

they sing to one deaf; for Jupiter will, that
canunt     surdo;      Jupiter enim vult, et

they who petition'd against a gentle King,
  qui   sint* deprecáti   cleméntem Regem,

should now indure a rigid one.
    jam ferant   incleméntem.


MORAL.


It is wont to happen to the Common People,
  Solet    eveníre         plebi,

just as to the Frogs, who, if they have a little
perínde atq; Ranis,  quae, si habent      paulo

milder        King, find fault that he is dull
mansuetiórum regem, causátur     esse    ignávum

and unactive, wish, that there might once
et  inértem,  optat,     aliquándo

fall to their share a Man. On the other side, if at any time
contingere sibi    virum.     Contra,         si  quando

they have got a vigorous King, they condemn his
 nacta est    strenuum regem,     damnat

Cruelty, commend the Clemency of the former
saevitiam, laudat   clementiam    prióris;

either because we always are weary of them
sive   quod  nos semper      poenitet

present,     or because it is a true Saying, That
praesentium, sive quod   est  verum  verbum,

new things are better than old.
nova     esse potióra veteribus.



Of the Pidgeons and the Kite.
De Colúmbis     &   Milvo.


The Pidgeons heretofore waged   War with
Colúmbae     olim     gessére bellum cum

the Kite, whom that they might subdue they chose
Milvo,   quem  ut     expugnárent     delegérunt

to themselves the Hawk for their King. He
    subu     Accipitrem       Regem.  Ille

being made King, acts the Enemy, not the King.
  factus  Rex,  agit   Hostem,  non Regem.

He catches and tears them in pieces not slower than
Rapit      ac        laniat        non segnius ac

the Kite. It repents the Pidgeons of what
Milvus.  Poenitet   Colúmbas     

they had done; thinking it had been better to indure
incaepti;      putántes  fuísse    satiús   pati

the Kites War, than  the Hawks  Tyranny.
Milvi   bellum, quam Accipitris Tyrannidem.



MORAL.


Let no body be displeas'd too much with his own
Neminem     pigeat       nimium    suae

Lot.  Nothing it (witness Horace) happy in
fortis. Nihil est (reste* Flacco) beátum ab

every part. Truly I would not wish to change
omni parte. Equidem  non optem     mutáre

my Condition so it be tolerable.  Many having sought
meam sortem modo sit tolerabilis. Multi quaesíta

a new State wish'd   again for their
nová  sorte optárunt rursus

old one. We are, most of us,  of so various
veterem. Sumus, pleríque omnes, ita vario

a Temper, that we our selves are weary of our selves.
ingerio,  ut     nos met     paeniteat    nostri.



Of the Thief and the Dog.
De Fure       &    Cane.

The Dog answer'd to the Thief offering
Canis   respóndit    Furi   porrigénti

him Bread that he would hold his peace. I know
  panem   et          sileat.          Novi

thy Treachery, thou givest Bread that I may cease
tuas infidias,    das      panem quo   desinam

to bark. I hate thy Gift  for it I should
latráre.  Odi  tuum munus quipe si Ego

take the Bread thou'lt carry   out of this House
tulero panem     tu  exportábis  ex   his  tectis

all things in it.
  cuncta.


MORAL.

Beware that for the sake of a small Advantage,
Cave       Causá           parvi    commodi,

thou lose not a great one. Take heed that thou
amíttas        magnum.     Cave       fidem

trustest every Man,    for there are who do not
habeas cuivis homini,   sunt enim   qui  non

only   speak  fair    but also do Courtesies
tantum dicunt benígne sed &  facíunt benígne

deceitfully.
  dolo.



Of the Wolf and Sow.
De   Lupo    & Suculá.


The Sow was about to Pig. The Wolf promised
Sucula    parturiébat.   Lupus    policétur

that he would be Keeper of her young.
  se     fore* custódem    faetus.

The Sow answer'd that she wanted not the Wolfs
Sucula respóndit se       non egére    Lupi

humble Service: If he would be thought affectionate,
 obsequio:     Si   velet*    habéri  pius,

if he desired to do what was acceptable,
si cupiat     facere     gratum,

he should go farther off. For the Courtesy of the
  abíret    longius.     Officium enim

Wolf consisted not in his presence but absence.
Lupi constáre  non   praesentiá    sed absentiá.


MORAL.

All things are not to be intrusted to all Men:
Omnia      non sunt   credénda       cunctis:

Many  offer       their Service not for Love of thee,
Multi pollicéntur suam  operam  non   amóre      tui,

but of themselves seeking   their own Profit  not
sed     sui       quaréntes suum     commodum non

thine.
tuum.
