Vulpes et ciconia.

Nulli nocendum: si quis vero laeserit,
Multandum simili iure fabella admonet.
Vulpes ad cenam dicitur ciconiam
Prior invitasse et illi in patina liquidam
5Posuisse sorbitionem, quam nullo modo
Gustare esuriens potuerit ciconia.
Quae vulpem cum revocasset, intrito cibo
Plenam lagonam posuit: huic rostrum inserens
Satiatur ipsa et torquet convivam fame.
10Quae cum lagonae collum frustra lamberet,
Peregrinam sic locutam volucrem accepimus:
Sua quisque exempla debet aequo animo pati.
Fabulae Aesopiae. Phaedrus, Augusti libertus. L. Mueller. Leipzig. B. G. Teubner. 1876.
