Aesop's Fables: Steinhowel6.9. De agricola et pelargo [See an illustration from a 1501 edition.] Qui cum improbis quopiam deprehenditur crimine, pari pena plectitur cum illis. De hoc audi fabulam. Agricola laqueos in agro tetendit, ut grues et anseres venaretur, qui sata sua continue depascebant; at simul cum illis venatus est pelargum. Que pede tentus rogat agricolam, ut eum solvat missumque faciat, cum non sit grus nec specie anser, sed pelargus, avium piissimus, qui parentibus semper deservit, nec illos in senecta deserit umquam. Ei agricola subridens ait: Que dicis, haud me fugiunt, nam qui sis, probe teneo, sed his simul captus cum sis, his quoque simul est moriendum. Steinhowels Asop, ed. Hermann Osterley (1873). Some of these fables have digitized text; others have only page images. The digital page images are from Google Books. You can also consult the illustrated 1501 edition of Steinhowel's Aesop. Note that Book 7 contains poems from Avianus, so there is no text or page image for the fables in Book 7. |
