Rana rupta et bos.

Inops, potentem dum vult imitari, perit.
In prato quondam rana conspexit bovem
Et tacta invidia tantae magnitudinis
Rugosam inflavit pellem: tum natos suos
5Interrogavit, an bove esset latior.
Illi negarunt. Rursus intendit cutem
Maiore nisu et simili quaesivit modo,
Quis maior esset. Illi dixerunt bovem.
Novissime indignata dum vult validius
10Inflare sese, rupto iacuit corpore.
Fabulae Aesopiae. Phaedrus, Augusti libertus. L. Mueller. Leipzig. B. G. Teubner. 1876.
