  • A Lion, worn out with years, lay on the ground at the point of death. A Boar rushed upon him, and avenged1 with a stroke of his tusks2 a long remembered injury. Shortly afterwards the Bull with his horns gored3 him as if he were an enemy. When the Ass4 saw that the huge beast could be assailed5 with impunity6, he let drive at his forehead with his heels.
