Caspar Barth (1612)
Book 3 - Fable 12. Mus et Rana.
RAna et musculus invicem furebant
In letale odium, cruenta tandem
Infelix genus in duella raptum est,
Hos vidit proculales, et volatu
Pernix praepete, milvius, secutus
Ambos devorat, unico sepulcro
Hosteis condere doctus arroganteis.
Quisquis civica bella commovebit
Externum metuat, monetur, hostem.
